Asp Q?

[joshwa]

Hi,

What's the difference between ASP 3.0 and ASP.net ?

I need to learn ASP, and was going to get a "SAMS" teach yourself ASP in 21days / 24hours book, but they have both ASP 3.0 books, and ASP.net - which would be better?

Thanks

Josh

perhaps i'll try asp.net unleashed - as all the sams books have terrible reviews :

If you download the .net SDK there's loads of examples Here
TBH I don't buy books anymore as there tend to be loads of tutorials online

You'd be better off learning ASP.NET as opposed to ASP 3.0. It'll have a longer life and it can do loads more. I'm learning it at work now, good thing it's fairly similar to classic ASP

There's a wealth of information regarding ASP.NET controls etc on http://msdn.microsoft.com but you can't beat a book for quick reference.

i think i might just get one of those ASP.net for dummies books to start with, as they're cheap (£14) and as you guys have said, there's loads of stuff on the net about it

If your looking for a future in ASP, .NET is the way to go

ASP.NET is so much nicer to work with than ASP due to the seperation of the code(C# or vb.net) and the HTML. I used to hate working with ASP but not anymore with ASP.NET.

A proper debugger, intellisense, a compiler to tell you about typos....what more could a geek ask for.
