Hi Jay,
www.asp.net is a good site for learning about the ASP side of .NET, its the
web application side. Basically Visual Basic for the web. .NET is also
C++, C#, J#, and VB .NET. I personally like developing in Visual Studio
.NET, but I donno about for web applications. I use to do ASP for a living,
now I do PHP. In some ways, I liked ASP better, but in a lot of ways, I
like PHP better. Perl was my favorite. I used that at my last position.
Anyhow, that'll get you started. For any mailing lists, go to
msdn.microsoft.com, and sign up for their free newsgroups. They have a
public news server if you don't.
