I am very new to the ASP world rather than ASP.net Whats the best material for the ASP

I am a Windows forms programmer and I am familiar with the VB and VBA programming. Thus, I would like to ask:
 
** Can I directly start ASP.net without any prior knowlege of the ASP ?
** What is the best material to get learning the ASP.net from introductory level to the advance level ?
 
Thanks,
