I’d love to learn how to code in ASP.Net. Where’s a good place to learn?
There are many ways you can learn how to code, but it’s usually easier for people who have programming in the past. ASP.Net is an interesting language in that there are a number of tools available in the language to help accelerate your development, however, there’s also a pretty steep learning curve compared to simpler third-generation languages.
If you’re so inclined, there a number of books you can use to help you can started. Here are some you can get from Amazon:
Another option is to watch videos that walk you through the basics. There are a number of these available online, but there’s a pretty comprehensive collection down at the official ASP.net website. The videos are divided into three sections:
- Videos for ASP.NET 2.0 Beginners
- “How Do I?†with ASP.NET
- Videos on Migrating to ASP.NET
That should be plenty to get you started. Remember, the main thing with code is that the more you practice, the more you learn and the better you get. So don’t be afraid to try out new things and see how far you can get. If you get stuck, there are plenty of forums you can ask for help.
thx for the links on the tutorials; I’m new to coding but the more I learn the easier it is to make adjustments on my site and translate what I want done through my coders. Only thing that makes me hesitant is the steep learning curve but you have to start somewhere 😉
