ASP.NET training for Technical Project Manager

Question

Hi,

I used to be a Dot Net developer over 5 years back and then got into Project management and lost the touch. Now i have got an assignment where i need to manage and lead the team technically, for which i need to refresh my ASP.NET skills both Basics and Advanced (WCF/LINQ/Design patterns etc.). I have worked on Dot Net v 2.0.

My question is what's the practical and fastest way to build this knowledge.

Any specific articles, books you could suggest.

I would also like to build some practical knowledge by creating some dummy projects.

Any suggestions in this regard would be welcome.

Many Thanks
