Oh God... I've Forgotten ASP.NET Entirely...
« on: February 21, 2011, 07:26 AM »
Really. I just don't remember jack about it. A few tiny things are coming back, but I need seriously remedial help.

Can anyone recommend some good tutorials for getting up to speed? Like basic stuff. Needs to be for IIS 7 or 7.5 and .NET 3.5 or 4.0, though things that haven't changed from 2.0 are fine too.

It's been many years since I did anything useful, and I'm just drawing a total blank. I don't even know what sites to look at anymore.

Haven't dug in to ASP.Net yet, but if you're going to start from scratch, I'd say look at the most recent MVC version coupled with the Razor view engine; the old ASP stuff I've seen looked kinda sucky, but the MVC+Razor samples I've browsed on various blogs actually looks pretty sweet.

I noticed that there are truckloads of new RAD frameworks for it. OWS and a bunch of others.

I can see this is going to be somewhat painful...


I just spent the day doing what should have taken me 2 or 3 hours at most, and all because I've simply forgotten everything.

Classic ASP is just like PHP. Sucky. But more sucky than PHP. But it is quick & dirty to get stuff done.

ASP.NET MVC3 + Razor > RoR > ASP.NET-whatever > PHP > Classic ASP :)

Having a quick look and... WOW~! ASP.NET MVC 3 + Razor looks wicked, wicked cool.

Microsoft has a free Introduction to ASP.NET, and the follow-up with ASP.NET in C#.

W3 Schools has an introduction to ASP.NET.  The beginning is very basic, so you'll probably skim over it until page 6.  As far as Razor, there's an intro on ASP.NET.
