I'll second that.. Been learning asp.net and vb.net off an on since january. You can download 4 video tutorials from asp.net that will teach you all of the basic concepts for asp.net and have you productive in a week.. I'm not much on frameworks, but it sure allows for rapid development once you understand the quirks...

For all those who left 75% probably stayed with Visual Studio. The other 25 probably did the java, php, big database management, or other open source products.
