First and foremost, a lot of the answer depends on the other language(s) you are familiar and comfortable with. If you cut your teeth on CF alone I don't know that there is much of a point of reference in any one specific direction. I had to make the shift into the .NET world and can share my thoughts on that process. Because I grew up programming in BASIC (CoCo and qBasic) and had done relatively little in C++ / JAVA, I went with the VB.NET code-behind. C# has a syntax and flow that is much like Java, as others have said. Your observation that NET isn't a *single* language is correct. Even when working with ASP.NET you're dealing with two different languages that simply share objects. In the end it all compiles to bit code and runs on the framework the same way. The biggest thing I had to learn was the concept of events. Until I had my brain wrapped around the concept that every page submits to itself by default and don't have to have things redefined for them I struggled badly.
