Looking to advanced need some advice and books

Hey guys

Looking for your help in getting me some material...looking to go into intermediate to advanced area of programming in .net (asp.net).

Just finished a course at uni in distributed systems (done in jsp managed it but jsp is very arguementitive even the lecturer a well knowledgable man in java didnt think it was that great)

Any ways quite intrested in exploring distributed systems and client server interactions.

Would also like to get hints on other areas that would be good to learn...as going for a job with a company that is .net directed and even though I have done asp.net i believe showing an extra intrest in distributed system and other advanced area would be helpful and more importantly intresting to me.

Any books you can suggest to advance me along would be great...I have read on a few blogs that distributed system books are rare?

Being mainly taught in java for past 5 years (Im just finishing honour year in computer science. Why no proper .net is beyond me.) I be intrested in resources web or books on interchanging data between .net and java as i believe it is possible with things like cobra.

On a slight alteration about to do my exam on distributed system what your opinion on web services object orientated distributed system or not an object orientated distributed system...we got two set of notes on both sides quite intresting just wondering on your viewpoint.

Cheers just trying to broaden my experience and in future go on a certified .net course (If work pays for it lol)

Hi:

It depends on what you want to start with, either ASP.NET 1.1 or 2.0.

Since ASP.NET 2.0 is out, I would recommend starting with it!

Check this great book:Professional ASP.NET 2.0

HTH,

Regards
