Hopefully, you reached this page from the About Visual Basic ASP.NET Hub Page. If not, you might want to click the link above and go there. That article is the starting point to learn everything about programming in ASP.NET. The article itself is very basic because the main goal is to be a container for links to other articles that explain the details. But the main page does take you through the process of developing a web site using Visual Basic and ASP.NET.
Most technical articles on the web are either "stand alone" articles on one topic or tutorials consisting of a number of "lessons". Both of these formats make it difficult for people to browse to the topic they really need information about. In a tutorial, it might be somewhere in one of the lessons, but where? In a standalone article, it's either there or it's not, and if it's not there, you start over with another article.
In contrast, this is just the starting point. Suppose, for example, you're interested in how to code the connection string for a database in an ASP.NET web page. Look for a link on a database related line of text in the article and click it. You may get another link page that allows you to choose various topics about using databases in ASP.NET so you can continue browsing toward what you're looking for. Or, you might get exactly the article that explains it.
Two points of full disclosure:
First, I'm just one guy writing all of this myself. It's going to take me some time to get the content available to fulfill the real potential of this site. Until then, most of the possible links just won't be there.
Second, Because I can't program the About.com web site directly, to get back to the previous link, you'll have to simply use the "back" button on your browser. I'd like to automate this kind of linkage (using ASP.NET of course, where it would be easy) but I'd have to be able to program the About.com site to do that.
