Ive noticed lately Microsoft are introducing AJAX, Atlas, WPF,Blinq and many more new technologies.
My question is based on myself being a relatively newcomer to ASP .Net 2.0 and dont know everything but know some as ive developed more with applications rather than websites. So am i wasting my time in learning ASP .Net 2.0 as these new technologies means ASP .Net 2.0 will become "redundant" or "not a standard"? should i concentrate learning these new technologies or continue learning ASP .Net 2.0 as these new technologies will fall in place at some stage?
Thanks

ASP.Net 2.0 is the foundation for these technologies, so in my opinion learning asp.net first is fundamental to understanding these other "enhancement" technologies. For example, ASP.NET AJAX (formerly Atlas) is simply an extension to asp.net...not a seperate technology unto itself. Blinq is basically dynamically creating asp.net pages from a data source...so again, built on top of asp.net.
WPF is slightly different I believe in that it is centered around building windows client applications...specifically building nice GUI's to windows client applications. It is more an extension of .Net as a whole than just ASP.NET...I think anyway (someone feel free to correct me).
