Hi,

i've been using "regular" asp for a few years. Now i haven't worked with
ASP.Net yet but am looking to learn it. Can anyone recommend me a good book
that helps me getting started?

Thomas, I read Alvin's reviews and concur whole-heartedly on a couple of things. Esposito's book is wonderful: very deep, but approachable and with many real world examples. If you truly understand what's in this book then you've arrived, but it'll take more than a casual reading. I have Walther's book too, but agree that the emphasis is too much on inline coding, and I've standardized on code-behind as much as humanly possible. I didn't do much with classic ASP, so can't relate to you there, but from participating in this forum over the past few months I think I can safely say there are plenty of things you're going to want to forget about classic ASP, and not try to forcefit that way of doing things into ASP.NET. For an intro book with VB focus, I can recommend ASP.NET Developer's Jumpstart by Sheriff and Getz, which will get you through hello world and thensome very well, then after that I'd go with Esposito. Finally, when you're ready for a very handy collection of useful tips and tricks, check out Karl Moore's Ultimate VB.NET and ASP.NET Code Book. It's geared to vb guys, but most would apply to C# as well

I started with Stephen Walther's "ASP.NET Unleashed" and found it to
be very good. Here are a couple of sources:

http://www.bookpool.com/.x/sojko5k6o4/sm/067232542X

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...f=sr_1_1/102-0213473-5602577?v=glance&s=books

My copy's (1st edition) binding was terrible, but maybe SAMS has
improved it for the 2nd edition. In any case, the lousy binding isn't
the author's fault and it doesn't detract from the value of the
information provided in the text.
