Hey everyone,

I'm new to .net development, in fact I'm new to any software development besides some basics in college. I was able to lateral move from a PC field tech position into a web dev position with 0 experience so I'm learning as I go

.

Anyways I figured I'd introduce myself and I guess I'll meet some folks at the lunch meeting in March.

Re: howdy

Hope to see you there Oedo808.

Are there any tools you've been using so far to help you learn .NET? If you are doing asp.net, then naturally http://asp.net/ has a lot of good helpful tutorials.

Re: howdy

Oh, aside from the msdn reference, asp.net, and googling I have a stack of books I've inherited... I've been through about 1 and a half of a book so far.

I read through one on XHTML, I've gone through about half of a Wrox beginning ASP.NET with c# book, 1/8th of a Wrox Ajax with ASP.NET book, and a tiny bit of a Wrox ASP.NET 2.0 Security, Membership, and Role Management book.

The most trouble I've had was struggling through getting stored procedures to work with a gridview and a sqldatasource. My DBA decided to go with stored procedures and yanked my rights to everything but. I guess it shouldn't have been as big of deal as it turned out to be but I'm learning.

I'm pushing stuff onto Sharepoint which hasn't been much of a development experience but it's kind of fun in my opinion.
