I'm just beginning to learn how to program and I really want to learn ASP.net with C#, but I'm not sure how I should go about learning them. I've been told that I should learn ASP.net and C# simultaneously but I haven't found a good book for beginners that teaches you both. Can anyone recommend me a book that will teach me both simultaneously or am I better off getting two separate books about asp.net and c# and if so what books would you recommend?

Hello,

You can just try at the ASP.NET site and from there to check the recommended books.

This is the link Click.

It's all about personal preference buddy.
When I started learning C# I learned C# only, from some book that I can't remember. I discovered that I perform best when I self-study[mostly during night hours] and ask questions at forums. Others like to go to a private teacher, or class.
Back to our subject. I've never seen a book that teaches you 2 programming languages at the same time, especially ASP .NET which is a web programming language together with C#. I'd pick up a separate book for each.

Some books you might like -
Books: The Official Microsoft ASP.NET Site
C# Programming Books

O'Really books(generally considered good) -
Programming C# 4.0 - O'Reilly Media
Build Your Own ASP.NET Website Using C# and VB.NET - O'Reilly Media
If you Google a little you might even find some free EBooks.

Good luck on your studies, and never be afraid to ask questions - that's what forums are for ;)

Actually Wrox publishing has a book just for this purpose. I think it's called beginning asp.net 4 in VB and C#. I'm currently running through it myself. It covers a good amount of C# or VB. Every example comes in both languages as well. I think the website is Programming Books, Free Code Downloads, Ebooks, Blogs, Articles, Forums - Wrox. If not you can just google wrox. You can also buy it on Amazon (it's one of the best reviewed).

Goodluck!
