Been a LAMP developer for years, now transitioning to the Microsoft Web Stack. Where do I begin?

I've always worked with the standard Linux web stack (linux, apache, php, python, mysql) but have been given a great job opportunity working with a group that works with the Microsoft Web Stack (IIS, ASP.NET, MSSQL, C#).

There seems to be a pretty good Microsoft following here on SO. Where should I begin? Specific books, tutorials, online resources are appreciated.

ASP.NET MVC will probably seem more familiar to you than ASP.NET WebForms. And honestly, I think that most pro-shops are going to move towards it over the next 5 years.

There are some really good tutorials (the kind that WebForms still doesn't have) at this site.

MSSQL (other than some tweaks to syntax) and IIS will probably be less of a hurdle, unless you'll specifically be administering them. I'd focus on learning C# and ASP.NET.

A good resource for C# is the MSDN C# tutorials.

A good resource for ASP.NET is the ASP.NET Quickstart Site.
