Get on over to Microsoft and watch some of these
ASP.Net 2.0 webcasts. The content is great, and it has helped me get up to speed in 2.0.
This was a frutrating one, and since 2.0 is so new, I couldn't find anything about this on the web. But eventually, I figured it out...

But with that pre-requisite covered 'Learning Perl' is a fun and information dense learning tool. Not to say that you can’t do it if you have never coded before, but it will be more of a struggle. Luckily I am familiar with how to code (note: there may be those who strongly object to this statement), and so this book turned out to be a fabulous resource. Coming ......
OK - Confession time. I am new to the coding game. I strted this after an aborted "career" in Accounting. I found myself spending more and more time slicing and dicing the data in SQL. I liked it, and I hated accounting, and so I made the leap. This was after the bust of 2000, so you know I was ready to leave my previously chosen field.
