Learning VB.NET / ASP.NET - Where to start?

[Kona*]

Hello there I am looking for a bit of info...

I have never done programming in my life, except a little bit of HTML/XHTML. I mentioned in work the other day that I would like to get to grips with Visual Basic and ASP, one of the guys set me a challenge to get me started; to create a simple web-based call logging system written in ASP.net. Now then... I have no idea where to start, I already had Visual Web Developer (Express) on my laptop, and I have created the layout of the first page. Are there any books/websites that you could recommend?

Thanks

Craig

Thanks for all the help guys - I must be blind, I did actually check the asp.net website but didnt see that quickstart link! I am being pushed to do VB.net by the guy who challenged me as he does it, and swears by it. Would C# or VB be better for someone who is starting out in programming?

Thanks again

Craig
