Building my own sites. Been working with web sites since the late 1995. Went through CGI, PHP and ASP (tons of the later). So, when ASP.NET two years ago, switched to ASP.NET and started building sites. The first few months I was working to get my brain around this new method of controls/events for sites along with complaining loudy about viewstate, but shortly after that things settled down and have been having a lot of fun since. It was the concept of a "web application" instead of a "web site" that took the time to understand and realize I am building n-tier applications as I was use to for Windows applications but the presentation layer was different. I could finally transfer a lot of experience from Windows develop to the web. Anyway, it has all been by trail and error. I would say to anyone that is starting ASP.NET to check out some of the open source Microsoft kits at ASP.NET, get a grasp on Web User Controls and Web Server Controls and then take the plunge and design a site. There is a lot to learn no matter what technology you have came from, but there is a lot of power. Late be sure to dig into Caching and scaling applications.
