Re: PHP and .NET

Before I begin let me thank the many people in this group who have helped
me over the last few years. It has been greatly appreciated.

For the last several years I have been coding all server code in php. I
love the language. However, I live in an area (in the midlle of a
triangle formed by Orlando, Tampa and Gainesville) that seems to have
companies that use .NET and asp. I have done no work in these, so I have
to learn them quickly so that I can get a job/contract.

I have found a great site called www.w3schools.com, and am looking there
to study aspx (asp with .net). I have even installed IIS on my machine
so that I can proceed. I still use Dreamweaver as my editor/syntax
indicator.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to the best way to proceed, great
tutorials other than this one, and a news group for aspx that is as good
as this one is for php?

Keep using the groups you know and love for PHP but also consider
subscribing to the usenet groups on .Net and ASP etc but also (probably
better) the freely available Microsoft newsgroups.

Microsoft has a newsgroup on practically ever one of their products and
dozens on each major subsystem for the large products like Windows Server
(AD, DNS, Routing, etc are all separate newsgroups) or even for Exchange
and SQL server.

You will find not only general groups on IIS but also specific groups on ASP
and .Net programming, security, etc.

nttp://msnews.microsoft.com

(No password, no user name required to read OR post.)

You can of course use Google Groups to search the archives of this as well.

On the Microsoft groups you will notice that some people have the "title"
MVP (Most Valued Professional) and while this doesn't guarantee correct
answers is DOES mean that the person has answered a LOT of questions and
that others have generally found those answers to be useful and respectful.

These groups are (slightly) moderated to remove offensive language or
spam posts (but not criticisms of MS or it's stuff if they are on topic) so
they
are not very noise like some usenet groups.

The general tone is also very much HELPFUL when someone asks a dumb
or FAQ question; generally you will get a suggestion on how to find the
answer
yourself NEXT TIME and the actual answer -- all done politely and with
respect for "noobies" and newcomers.

The answers tend to be excellent in most of these groups and are perhaps the
single best "unknown" resource for managing, learning, and developing
on Microsoft system.s
