In my opinion the C# for dummes is to be avoided. Reading the certification books on C# might be a good way to learn the language. Those books go through a wide variety of the language and framework, and many don't assume you know much programming to begin with.
It might be wise to stick to either C# or VB.Net, but once you know one of the languages you can easily pick up the other. The framework is shared among all .net languages.
There are several web sites that give lots of code samples to try out as well, and articles that cover everything a book would, though having a book might be tidier.
Creating Web Services and Web Applications in .Net is easy. You need IIS with framework 1.1 or 2.0 (if you installed IIS after Framework 1.1 or 2.0 you might need to reregistert ASP.NET, google for aspnet_regiis)

Are there classes available at local colleges, or do i have to go
through microsoft to find classes? would it be easier to try learning
on my own by purchasing Dummies books and microsoft official books?
Would it be beneficial to pay someone as a private tutor to help me
learn it?
