For a school project in database course, I need to create a basic career related web site. The web site will be very basic and it will basically be an interface for some database operations, listing, adding, etc. The main point in the project is database design and SQL; not fancy UI design, etc. The server side programming and web is just a medium(the resulting page will not be on web anyways, I will do the demo on my own laptop)
For the project, I have to use C# and ASP.NET. I haven’t used any of them before. As for my background: I have quite a long history with C and C++; and know pretty much Java. Although I have used PHP for some time, I can say that I have negligible knowledge about server side programming. I do know enough SQL, though.
I don’t have that much of a time to allocate for this project. So my question is: what are some to-the-point, fast and practical ASP.NET and C# resources for experienced programmers? What precisely and concisely do I need to know to get this done?
I will probably be using Visual C# 2010, but I’m open to any suggestions.
Thanks!
