Wanting to jump into ASP.NET 2 but a little confused where to start? Why not start off here, at Sitepoint:

Prepare Yourself for Whidbey
ASP.NET 2.0 Security
Host .NET In SQL Server 2005 Express


After digesting that, why not try the Official ASP.NET Site to get you started. Theres also the Microsoft MSDN ASP.NET 2 pages!

Know any other great resources for anyone looking to start exploring ASP.NET 2? Please feel free to share them!

Whidbey is not the final product. So that may not be the best palce to start as may of the classes or functions may have changed or removed. MSDN ASP.NET 2 pages! again points to beta 2.
I find www.asp.net is the perfect place to start learning asp.net 2.0
