Unfortunately my wife won't let me have any money to buy any books so I need to ask help form you guys..

Ok... First off let me start by saying I am new to ASP especially ASP.Net... So someone please answer a few questions for me... (Please keep the answers simple )

ok,

#1: Anyone with online tutorials please send them my way..

#2: Most books/Tutorials I have found seem to make an assumption I am working with a "Local" server when in fact I have my site hosted through another server... Would someone post a "commented" example of connecting to a database on a remote server and explain maybe displaying a field or two of data? (I will try to hash out more as I learn)...

#3: How secure can I make my data on the net using ASP or is the method of putting the information in a "secure" directory still the best way?


Any help is greatly appreciated...
