Also, while doing that, make sure you spend quite a bit of time looking at other people's code. The mindset needed is quite different.

While there are some aspects of development from winforms development that can be transferred over (such as general .Net knowledge), it will still take some time to become proficient in ASP.Net (and web development in general). Years ago I started off doing purely WinForms, and my first couple of ASP.Net projects were... well... not fantastic.

Does that mean I'm pretty much employable since I have little to no ASP.NET experience, despite my level of Dot Net experience in WinForms and Compact Framework development? I am studying ASP.NET when I can, but don't have any real work experience with it yet. I feel like I'm fighting an uphill battle to try and get into a full-time Dot Net development role (I'm only doing Dot Net development as a portion of my job at the moment).
