Why you should Un-Learn and think New
One of my good old friends in Melbourne wanted to learn the all hot ASP.NET, from his own words to, "keep in touch with the latest technologies and to see what all the hype is about".
Well, I recommended him to download the free ASP.NET IDE called WebMatrix which itself was developed in C# and is only 1.3 MB with all the GUI and fancy MS editing features.
For a person who comes from the good 'ol ASP days, the first thing I tell them is to throw away the ASP knowledge and learn the .NET way of doing web development. It takes some time to fathom this, because we are not used to thinking of web pages as having events like button clicks, load events, render events and such that run on the server side, and to seperate HTML markup from code.
For the old ASPer, it takes time to think this way, but once you get the hang of it, you'll feel back at home!
It's surprising how Microsoft has come up with a unified programming model for the Web Apps and Windows Apps that work much the same way with .NET
Way to go MS, I'm awaiting for Longhorn devlopment!
