Recently I have come across some very good resources for those that want to learn the ins and outs of ASP.Net 2.0 but do not have the time to attend a class or learn it on their own. The ASP.Net team has a series of “How do I” tutorials that covers many topics with  more topics on the way.

The topics covered are:

• ASP.NET HOW DO I Video Series: Caching (Part 1)
• ASP.NET HOW DO I Video Series: Caching (Part 2)
• ASP.NET HOW DO I Video Series: Create a Full-Featured Customer Login Portal
• ASP.NET HOW DO I Video Series: Data
• ASP.NET HOW DO I Video Series: Form Building for a "Contact Us" Page
• ASP.NET HOW DO I Video Series: Localization
• ASP.NET HOW DO I Video Series: Master Pages and Site Navigation
• ASP.NET HOW DO I Video Series: Membership and Roles
• ASP.NET HOW DO I Video Series: Profiles and Themes
• ASP.NET HOW DO I Video Series: Tips and Tricks
• ASP.NET HOW DO I Video Series: Web Parts and Personalization

Also, there is the ASP.Net webcast series of videos that aid in the transition from PHP, JSP and ColdFusion to ASP.Net 2.0 so if you are coming from a different language altogether this might be the way for you. This can be found here.

Now with those webcasts there is a bonus where you can obtain Visual Studio 2005 standard after watching just three webcasts. What a deal. Now you have no excuse not to learn ASP.Net 2.0.
