Learning more technical skills?

[Not So Wise]

Ok - actually I looked at this site a few months back and wondered if it might be any use: http://www.asp.net/

IT is such a vast subject that it's tricky, as a newbie, to know where to start.

Vids on asp.net are good for newbies...if web stuff is what you want to do
windowsclient.net is same but for Winforms/WPF
silverlight.net is for..well silverlight
Basically all are the official MS sites for the relevant .NET techs

You really need to figure out what area and techs you want to know before you even start, like could learning anything in particular benefit your "day job"? If you don't figure this out not only will you spread yourself to thin but you probably would never even get started

One of the best ways to learn is have an idea for an application you might want to create, draw up design spec/feature list then figure out how to do it, if you can do that you can design and code in the real world

Simple as that

For what its worth, I've 18 months Oracle experience and am using a bespoke Oracle finance system in current role. Seems to be quite in demand. I intend to do a course in same in a couple of years to augment my skillset. Due to cost I plan on doing it in the Philippines; visiting there at Xmas so will check the institutions out.
