Response.Write(”hoooray! At least some good news for us, the goin’ ahead .NET people!”)

Console.WriteLine(”Does anyone KNOW .NET?”);

Console.WriteLine(”You do say the truth!”);

Cheers. Looking forward to the sharpening (no pun intended) of the ASP.NET profile here.

So, when is your book due?

Good luck Wyatt, hope you last longer than most .NET bloggers here have! :)

@all: thanks for the kind words, encouragment and advice. And mind the “don’t feed the trolls” sign; it keeps ‘em under the bridge.

@ikeo: Actually, I suspect the only VB I will be posting will be VBA, if that. I honestly have not done anything significant in VB.NET.

As for code reference, I really just stick with the internet + integrated help. I tend to go for books of the more ephemeral nature. That said, I hear that ASP.NET 2.0 Unleashed just came out. I found the first version quite helpful in the beginner/intermediate range.

Console.WriteLine(”Does anyone still use .NET?”);

Very funny… The real question is “Does anyone still use PHP?”. Interpreted old-school language with all classes in one namespace. Script-based, non-OO mishmash. I can go on…

But the real answer is YES, and with Windows Vista, .NET Framework 3.0 and all those goodies it’s expanding rapidly. Stop looking backwards. This is reality.

And I don’t even work with .NET, hah. I do this for fun. But I have a lot of people around me who does.

Great to have you Wyatt.
I’m trying to get into some really serious ASP.NET coding and my first request is that code samples be in C# as well as VB.

All too often, code in tutorials and books is in VB.NET, and even though I can figure out a C# version, it detracts from my learning of the material.

My other question is, what, in your estimation, is a good book to get started on ASP.NET 2.0? I know ASP.NET well but I always like to have a beginner-intermediate coder book around for reference when I need to look up something.

Right now I have “Beginning ASP.NET 2.0 in C# 2005 - From Novice to Professional” by Matthew MacDonald, but I find it a bit dull and uninspiring. I really liked “ASP.NET for Graphic Designers - By Peter Ladka” but he doesn’t have a 2.0 Version out yet.

Welcome again to the sitepoint blogosphere!
