MSDN has released several free windows media videos (WMV’s) that are good training resources for getting up to speed on ASP.NET 2.0 . I would encourage any .NET developer who is interested in ASP.NET 2.0 to spend some time looking at these. For a full list of videos and descriptions, go here:

Topics of interest:
ASP.NET HOW DO I Video Series: Caching (Part 1)
ASP.NET HOW DO I Video Series: Caching (Part 2)
ASP.NET HOW DO I Video Series: Data
ASP.NET HOW DO I Video Series: Localization
ASP.NET HOW DO I Video Series: Tips and Tricks
ASP.NET HOW DO I Video Series: Web Parts and Personalization
I personally took a look at the caching and Tips and Tricks, both great videos (done using Visual Studio Web Developer 2005 express edition, free download until Nov 7 2006). Very well done- thanks Microsoft.
