Hi,
Not sure if this is the right forum to raise my questions. However need to know where to start if I want to learn Dot net. To give you a little background, i worked as a dot net developer from 2005 to 2007. worked on framework 1.1 mainly and a little bit on framework 2.0
Now after so many years i am getting an opportunity to run a project in dot net (not sure which framework but definitly later than 2.0) and want to know where should i start if I wnat to learn dot net framework and asp.net. Please advise.

In my opinion MSDN is the best place to start with.

Why do you think that telling you where to start should help you?

:) I feel lost at this point. there is tremendous change in the framework and asp.net. WHen I searched on net there were thousands of posts and I got confused which one should I start reading. so to be specific, shall I read basics of framework 2.0 or shall i directly start reading abt 4/4.5?

You can start with 4 or 4.5, why not? If you knew 2.0 well, it would pay off reading some "What's new?" sections on each version (you still can do it), but your question suggests you don't, so skip 2.0, not a big deal. I would say, 2.0 is actually the first really decent .NET, and the biggest progress was done at v.3.5: anonymous methods, lambda, auto-implemented properties, type inference; on the library side, perhaps most notable is WPF...

Thank you for your reply. I have started reading MSDN. going through the new features in newer versions.

As with very many things, it does not matter where you start, but your hard work and thinking do matter. Don't be afraid to do hard work.

First of all, don't start with complex applications and using and playing with someone else's code, especially if you don't clearly understand what it does. You should rather understand each line of what you are writing and write everything by yourself, especially at first. This advice looks too trivial, but it's based on the most usual mistakes of the beginners.
