Can anybody recommend any books or tuts for learning ASP.NET?



Particularly, I want to learn about the Authentication piece... how to
get user's to login with SQL or have Pass-through with AD.



I read MS Step by Step Visual Basic 2008... but it had very little to say about web-programming or authentication.
		

 The book "Asp Net 2.0 Security Membership And Role Management" published by Wrox is a very good book.
There's also lots on MSDN about authentication through AD -
