Dot net tutorials for beginners

If you have no experience in software and you plan to start learning .net. I would strongly recommend this reading list (and in that order)

1>Learn HTML

2>Learn Javascript
http://www.w3schools.com/js/default.asp

3>Learn the basics on writing SQL queries

4>Read what .net is all about

5>Learn C#

Once you finish these, you are in a position to start learning any Microsoft technology (asp.net, wcf, wpf etc) that you choose to pursue.

Asp.net is what you would learn if you want to build websites

WPF is what you would learn to build computer applications (software that you can install on your machine)

WCF is something you would learn when you reach at an intermediate level. A simple way to think about WCF would be a web based application, where you can pass in two numbers and get their sum in return. Check this out to get an introduction to WCF
