learning asp

[MrNase]

Hey,

So often i've seen websites with .asp in their filenames. I guess it's ASP.net which powers these sites.

Since i know PHP, SSI, HTML and CSS i want to get further and learn ASP.

What do i need to do to learn ASP? Are there any tools? What are the system requirements?
PHP (the language) requires a webserver with PHP capatabilites, can i run ASP on that?


Any links, software or tips are more than welcome :)

.asp is ASP, .aspx is ASP.NET :) .

Basically all you need is IIS, MS' webserver which is already bundled with XP.
Microsoft also has an excellent online manual available at msdn.microsoft.com, which covers just about anything.

.asp is usually normal asp.

.ASP NET is fairly different and generally denoted the extension .aspx. It's free to use with Windows alongside IIS webserver. If you don't have a windows machine you can also run a *nix version of plain asp like Chilli ASP.

Try this (http://www.w3schools.com/aspnet/default.asp) for starting out.

Ah ok, thank you :)

I've read some articels and i found out asp will never be my favorite programming language :D


Are there any languages you think i may find useful? It should be something that goes together with html/css :)
