Good open-source asp.net apps for learning?
-
Within the past year I've transitioned into a bit of an asp.net developer. However, I had to run before I learned to walk so I never got the chance to learn how to create a first-class architecutre for an asp.net application. We needed a shopping cart and ended up using a heavily customized http://www.aspdotnetstorefront.com[^] which I'm pretty sure is far from first-class. I could be wrong :D So my question is, what are some good open-source asp.net projects which feature first-class designs that I can learn from?

I would suggest looking at http://www.dotnetnuke.com/[^], this supplies a whole web framework and you can get free shopping cart software which works well with it. I have used the following dnn module for ecommerce http://dnnsoft.com/[^], its not free but the basic version is a bargin for £40 and has all the functionality for small business users.

"they all many" What does that mean?

Building a Web 2.0 Portal with ASP.NET 3.5 This is not an app, but a solid book that I am working through right now. It teaches using the most current .NET technology and covers a lot of various subjects within the ASP.NET development "quiver" including AJAX. It is written by the CTO and co-founder of www.PageFlakes.com and pretty much shows you how to build a similar basic Web 2.0 type portal. Some subjects are covered more deeply than others, but it is at least a good primer/intro on all of the subjects it touches. Having used .NET since the beginning in 2002 and old ASP before that, I am finding I still have a lot to learn (and re-learn). Hope that helps.

Any specific suggestions on which 3 or 4 to start with? I've heard grumblings about dotnetnuke.
