I have years of experience as a DBA/SQL developer but I really see the need to branch out into web development and beef up my skill set since I see most jobs these days want you to be a SQL expert and a front end programmer. <br />
<br />
My current employer wants me to learn web development using C#, Javascript and jQuery. I have a decent C# book and I'm studying that, but I feel like I'm missing the bigger picture of how these 3 languages relate and what I really need to learn. <br />
<br />
I am good at learning from books or online, my whole career stems from about 2 weekends locked in my room with a Wrox SQL book. I am just wondering where does one begin when learning these things? Is there a book? 3 books? A site? I just feel at a loss for starting point. <br />
<br />
Thanks for taking the time to look at my question!

C# / Javascript / jQuery - Where do I start?

Web development can range from developing the simplest static single page of plain text to the most complex web-based internet applications, electronic businesses, and social network services using a wide variety of languages and standards, including the familiar HTML, JavaScript and jQuery, ASP and ASP.NET, PHP, ColdFusion, CSS, PHP, Flex and Flash, but also the implementation of a broad list of standards including XML, WSDL, SSDL, VoiceXML and many more.

Web Languages and Standards

A web application framework (WAF) is a software framework that is designed to support the development of dynamic websites, web applications, web services and web resources. The framework aims to alleviate the overhead associated with common activities performed in web development. Most common web application frameworks are defined by specific subsets, including ASP.NET, JaveEE, Symfony, ColdFusion Language (CFML), Laravel, jQuery and AngularJS, or for the related languages, including .NET, PHP, JavaScript, Java, Perl, Python, Ruby, C++ and C.

Web Frameworks

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.
