I want to apologize in advance, I think this may be a commonly asked question and I hate to repeat it, although I did search for a bit I couldn't come up with any results that answer my question, which is;
I've spend the last 8-9 months self teaching myself C# and I have come along pretty well, I can build my own small programs. I asked some people from various different places what my next step should be, they mostly said to learn ASP.NET, so thinking it was easy I didn't press for further information. A few days later I go to search for some tutorials/practice vids and information for ASP.NET to find out there's so many versions and different types that I had no idea where to begin. I've heard a lot about ASP.NET 3.5 I think it's called, but then lots of people are talking about something called ASP.NET MVC.
So finally to my question, for web related things, what version/type/name of ASP.NET do I need to learn? My guess is the ASP.NET 3.5, but I really want to be sure before I put months of learning into it.
You can start here: http://asp.net
asp.net
And google search.

I asked about this Q format on meta, and the they said that worded correctly, this should be appropriate. This being said, sorry if I still butchered the wording and just in case I'd like to get this across (as was recommended): I'm not looking for opinions on certain things or how they work, rather just the ways it's possible. I don't mean to sound ignorant and I'm truly sorry if I do, it was just suggested to me to say on Meta.
Now for the Q; What just general language at all would be capable of gathering information from public online websites, then putting it in the program where it could be further processed as just any old variable? I'm new to coding and wanted to do this as a little 'introductory' program, to teach myself some new stuff. Problem being, with my idea, I don't even know where to start. Again, I'm not asking for specific ways to do this, I was just curious what languages are capable of doing this at all? I'd prefer to do it in a Visual Studio's language (no preference of which ones), if that's possible.
In short: Are either Visual C#/C++ capable of gathering information online to be further handled within the program? If not, what languages are?
I agree with the comment that this is a complicated first programming task. However, you'll undoubtedly learn something trying it.
If you already had some experience programming in Python, I'd suggest you took a look at http://scrapy.org/doc/ which is a framework (that is, a bunch of classes and other useful tools) which let you write programs to extract information from web pages. Scrapy does let you concentrate on programming by taking care of some of the nasty details involved in parsing web pages.
Another option is to use a javascript framework, maybe something like node.js.
I've done a fair amount of web scraping, and I usually end up using a combination of utilities which clean up web pages and a variety of XSLT processors. I personally find that combination of technology to be easier to deal with; I don't try to use C-family languages until I've basically wrestled the data into shape. But everyone has their own style.
Good luck!

Do you know any C# based "puzzles and answers" like book? Article? Resource?
Why I am asking this is to enlarge my vision with some interesting quiz-like scenarios; to force myself think in a different way and which I can maybe have an advantage on unexpected interview questions.
Thanks!
stackoverflow.com, of course :) - just reading the q and a on this site makes me think a different way.
Learning C# with exercises, questions and puzzles
Although it's not specific to C#, Project Euler is a lot of fun.
you can find a lot of solutions in c# to project Euler challenges. This is one resource: http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/projecteuler
Also the benchmarks on The Computer Language
Benchmarks Game have solutions in c# (mono). They encourage people to contribute faster solutions and by looking at them you can learn good performance-tuning tips.
Finally, if you're coming from another programming language and want to compare ways of solving common tasks, sites like Rosetta Code or langref are precious. They are also good to just learn how to do common things in a new language or as a reference (or indeed as preparation to common interview questions)

I am repeating this question since i haven't found a good answer to it yet. The other threads about this topic is from 2008 and 2009. There are a few projects out there like OpenForum, NearForums and Telerik Forums. The openforum and nearforums i can't even get to run on my computer, just getting a lot of build errors. On the openforum it seems a bit dead on that end in the discussions thread. Telerik requires some components that i can't even find.
So i ask again, maybe there is some new projects in the loop, is there a forum like YAF for asp.net?
It must be MVC 2 or 3 and preferably also have some APIs like YAF so that it can easily be integrated into the webpage.
Also try our latest release
http://www.mvcforum.com
The full source/docs is on Github and you can download via nuget too
https://github.com/leen3o/mvcforum
Also, we have a support forum which is actually running the latest version of the forum.
http://support.mvcforum.com
Did you tried http://mesoboard.com/ ?
http://mvcforum.codeplex.com not quite ready for release yet, but we're getting there!

I'm trying to solve automatically some capthas, but with no luck yet. Here are some examples:
There are always only 3 numbers in black and white colors.
Can anyone help me with some links or point to examples with a similar type of captchas?
Are there any good .net libraries for image processing that could be useful for me?
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE:
A lot of people already have asked why am I doing it. So I will answer here :)
My friend told that he would buy a case of beer to the person who will solve this task with a 25% accept rate.
I want to know if I have chances :D
Captcha was introduced to stop applications like yours :-). If this is something legitimate then contact the website and see if they can provide you with an API. It is practically impossible to solve all the captchas even if you a very good algorithm. Even if your application starts solving these captchas what is the guarantee that the website will not block you from making multiple requests in short interval?

I had a bunch of bookmark to "www.asp.net/learn/", specially the one about data-access and security.
I was keeping them to send them to newbies.
The site seem to be wiped.
Someone found an archive???
Via forums.asp.net: Where did the Learn page go?
They probably just did some consolidation. The videos are still there. http://www.asp.net/learn/videos/ the same thing happened last time. give it a few days or so and they may provide links to the material.
Way Back Machine
From the link http://forums.asp.net/t/1535662.aspx posted by tadmason:
With the new site design most of the content that had been on the Learn page has moved to the new Web Forms section, or the updated MVC section. Below please find a chart to help you find what you might be looking for:
Or as Jaxidian suggested, you could use the Way Back Machine: http://web.archive.org/web/%2a/http://www.asp.net/learn/
