Are there any good "substitute" ASP.Net lessons for "C# for programmers 2e"?
-
I know this question is kind of broad, and I apologize. I read the rules, and think I can ask this. However, if this is against the rules, I'm fine with that and will delete it. I'm new to C# in general, and am now in the 21st chapter of the book "C# for Programmers, Second Edition" by Deitel (isbn 0-13-134591-5)*. I'm on Visual Studio 2010, and this book's examples deal with 2005. Still, that's been no obstacle up until now, with ASP. I got by OK earlier in the chapter, but I'm now being asked to link a particular database to a datagridview control. When I try to link up this database, I get an error that basically says my version of SQL Server is incompatible with the pre-release version of this database. All solutions to this problem indicate that I'm supposed to install SQL Server 2005 just to update the permissions on this database. I went through a lot just to get 2008 fine and running on my computer, and am not going to dip my toe into that river of confusion. The thing is: it's this particular database. I tried to import another DB from previous lessons just to see, and that one come in fine. I'm going to try to continue the lesson with that one. However, I feel this will be a growing problem until I get back into non DB stuff later. So, I was wondering what ASP.Net/SQL material you guys would recommend (from here or elsewhere) that's thorough and can match what's in this book. I'm looking around here, but I'm drowning in random topics and don't know what to "trust" because I really don't know where to start.

If you want to start with ASP.NET the perhaps the book "MCTS -70-515 self paced learning kit" is the best place to start with. If you want to start ASP.NET MVC then "MvcMusicStore tutorial" from codeplex is the best place to start. For SqlServer, I think get any book on sql server for developers from Microsoft press and that will do. Just check that the book is meant for developers and not the DBAs.
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, Dream. Discover.
