Just wondering if I needed to know c# before I can start working with asp.net,
can I learn them together?
what is a good starting point like a book or online tutorials.
thanks

Personally I’d start by learning C# without ASP.NET, preferrably via console applications. That way you can get to grips with the language and the core types (collections, I/O, text, primitives etc) without being hampered by all the extra stuff ASP.NET throws in your way.
There are various oddities in any “peripheral” technology (ASP.NET, WCF, WPF, WinForms etc) that it can be very confusing if you don’t know the core stuff well: if something goes wrong, you can easily end up not having the faintest idea where to start finding the problem. Is it a misunderstanding about the language? The collections? The way that ASP.NET events are autowired? I’m sure you see what I mean 🙂
C# 3.0 in a Nutshell is a good book in terms of covering the language and the core framework. Then get a good ASP.NET book separately.
