learn ASP.NET quickly?

Name: Anonymous 2008-05-29 14:52

I've been noticing a lot of demand for ASP.NET lately. I'm pretty familiar with programming concepts (i know a dozen or so languages). I'm wondering if anyone could recommend a good site for a crash course so i could add ASP.NET to my repetoiry without having to read through the equivalent of an entire book, or go through all the basics again.

this:

This is for Scheme, which doesn't support .NET technologies.

Fuck, use Google and find the official documentation. If you ``know'' a dozen or so languages you should absolutely no problems picking up a new one and running with it. All languages are essentially wrappers around the same fundamental constructs.

You'd know this if you'd read SICP.

Exactly. What i was hoping for was a site that highlighted the particular differences. I was hoping for something that was targeted towards just that. The links above are far more wordy and targeted towards someone who needs far more hand holding.

The reality is getting a feel for a new language can take just a few minutes. If someone knows of a good site that would reduce the skimming, please post it. Otherwise i'll go back to google.
Thanks for all the replies!

The time you've wasted on this thread would have been better used learning ASP.NET... no wait, it wouldn't.

lol, i have been working on other things too. I haven't been waiting by the phone so-to-speak. :)

i have to admit that part of why i am so hesitant to spend too much time is because i am not really interested in ASP.NET. I'm not a big fan of MS stuff, and definitely have a bias towards FOSS tech. It just seems that there are a few more job ops that i could go for if i had an understanding of it.

I seem to be coming across more opportunities that have it as a requirement or desired quality. E.g. flash developer, with knowledge of ASP.NET wanted, etc.

ASP.Net isn't some faggy open source half ass effort (PHP, Ruby), or a platform that was a good idea but fagishly implemented (Java), or uses some ancient language whose usefulness faded (C, C++).

Its a modern web development platform with modern languages developed by a company known for supporting its development environments.

Just fucking go to MSDN. It a fucking websites with thousands or articles, tutorials, videos and forums to work with .Net and ASP.Net.

It's more a question that C++ has a shitload of libraries which are still very useful and maintained, in all domains from games to medical applications, and including very general ones like wxWidgets et al. Almost all the good ones use OOP or templates and it would be very hard to expose a C interface for use in D code.

That's not exactly a crash course like the OP was looking for is it? Besides, the MSDN sites seem to be 50% useless marketing and self promotion, 25% links to equally useless pages and 25% actual content once you manage to find it.

Just what the world needs, more crash-course "programmers".

a crash course would only work if the basic concepts are well understood. see: >>9, >>12

I take it you learned your post-referencing from a crash course as well?

My new hire learned ASP from a crash course.
How does he program?
Terrible!

the real question is: How did he learn to program in the first place?

learning a language != learning to program.

If your ASP guy learned to program like this guy >>34 learned to compose english, of course he's going to be terrible. He'll be terrible in any language. A person who learns how to program well will be able to translate that knowledge to any new language he decides to learn. I think that is what the originator of this thread or someone else was trying to say earlier.
