fireside reading

[TruthInSatire]

I'm working on learning asp.net.

I'd like to use C# although I could settle for vb.net if i have to.

My problem is all the books I find assume the reader already knows vb.net or C#. I don't.

I've got asp.net in a nutshell, programming asp.net, essential asp.net with examples in C#. essential asp.net is good if you know c# but it doesn't explain the c# code or the syntax.

C# books assume i'm going to be writing desktop apps. I'm not.

Is there a good asp.net book that also teaches C# or VB.net alongside asp.net?

thanks.

A lot of books do expect you to know a little bit of the language but I think it's how they explain how the code works that really matters. If they show you the code, step through it and explain what is happening then hopefully it won't matter that you haven't used the language before.

I'd suggest looking at some websites such as:

1)

http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com

This is a very good site with lots of example articles. The articles are generally very well written and will explain what they are doing, show you the example code that is used to create the page (with helpful explanations on the main sections) and will also show you a "live" page that will actually show you the results of the code.

2)

http://www.asp.net

This is the ASP.NET microsoft site, so it contains example applications that you can download and play about with, and it also contains help forums for these applications where you can ask questions about them.

Hope this helps.
