ASP.Net tutorial videos

Stumbled upon a website about ASP.Net, that first caught my attention because I thought it was a fancy guide to the history of programming… To my annoyance it turned out that it wasn’t – there’s no info about anything not related to ASP.Net. The website is called Code Chronicles and is created in Silverlight (another annoyance). Never was a huge Microsoft fan and I don’t even use Windows when not working, but I am interested in web development, so I continued reading.

Honestly, the majority of it is a ballyhoo, yet there are some bits here that are actually useful and make the site worth the while. The download section with Express Editions of Visual Web Developer 2008 and SQL Server is quite nice; what I liked even more is the support section. There are quite a few tutorial videos there, some of which I watched. I like how there are starter videos for all levels of proficiency within programming; there’s one about ASP.Net from a PHP developer’s point of view. I think the tutorials are made in such a way that one can actually learn something from them.

Overall, I think those two sections make up for the rest… Even though the tutorials are Silverbugged and I had to watch them in fullscreen… Here’s one good thing: I liked the way the videos are controllable from the right click menu.
I remain with mixed feelings.
