I'm new to world of .NET programming and I want to know about websites that have articles, tips and other useful information about .NET and Microsoft technologies. The websites I currently visit are:

  • MSDN
  • StackOverflow
  • WindowsClient.NET
  • TheServerSide.NET

I'd love to learn about some new .NET websites!

Lots of good resources already listed.

If you're looking for articles, The Code Project is a good site to frequent.

Here are some that may help you get started:

The following is not web based resources, but something you may want to consider:

  • If you can afford it, look on Amazon for a book on .NET, look at review stars to determine which ones are good.
  • Look at C# Design Patterns - James W Cooper for an understanding of the GOF patterns in C#

Don't be afraid to visit CodePlex and search for an application that maybe what you are interested in and download the source code.

Run the application in debug mode to understand how it works. You can also do a Google Search for open source C# projects to further increase your learning.

Good luck on your learning

DotNetKicks is a nice aggregation of various .NET-related blog posts and other news. It's not geared specifically for new users, but there is definitely a lot of useful content on many topics. It's also rather timely, so I've found it to be a good resource for staying on top of the latest technologies and discussions in the .NET world.

There is a free C# documentation, just for the basics:

Galileo Openbook - Visual C# 2008

For me, it's mostly google.com to start with :-)

I would say there are more bad ones than there are good ones.

:(

Personally I usually stick to MSDN and read the official blogs/posts from the product teams.

  • That may be true, but with the number of blogs available that still leaves plenty of room of many good ones. – Brian Rasmussen Apr 23 '09 at 05:16
  • Hmm... the fact that there are many bad websites is all the more reason to actually list the good ones. – tylerl Apr 23 '09 at 05:37

    @tylerl I agree, just making a comment that there is a ton of bad stuff :( I'm eager to find good stuff so will recheck this thread – Chad Grant Apr 23 '09 at 07:26
