ASP.NET Application Fundamentals
This tutorial covers the fundamentals involved in building an ASP.NET application. From a syntactical point of view, writing .NET code is similar to writing the classic ASP code that you may have seen during the late dot-com era. Many of the key symbols remain the same, and even some of the syntax survives. However, the entire underlying execution model changed dramatically between classic ASP and ASP.NET. Whereas executing classic ASP pages was primarily an exercise in rendering HTML, interpreting script code, and calling Component Object Model code, ASP.NET introduces an entirely new object-oriented execution model.

A Fast-Track Guide to ASP.NET
Since then, mailing lists, newsgroups, and web sites have sprung up containing a mixture of code samples, applications, and articles of various forms. Even if you're not a programmer using existing ASP technology, it's a good bet that you've at least heard of .NET, even if you aren't quite sure what it involves. After all, there's so much information about .NET, that it's sometimes hard to filter out what you need from what's available. With new languages, new designers, and new ways of programming, you might wonder exactly what you need to write ASP.NET applications.

Web Application Basics
This tutorial covers the fundamentals of building a Web-based application. Unlike the development of most desktop applications, in which most of the parts are available locally (as components on the user's hard disk drive), developing a Web application requires getting software parts to work over a widely distributed network using a disconnected protocol. The technologies underlying ASP.NET have been around for a long time. Of course ASP.NET makes use of this technology underneath, while making it very approachable at the same time.
