Chris, I would like to disagree with your statements. I think it is important for her to either learn ASP first and then .Net or both at the same time. It is unclear why Deb is in learning mode right now: maybe there is a business requirement Deb is trying to meet or maybe she is just interested in expanding her horizons. Either way, there will plenty of ASP code to write. Current business requirements and ASP migrations to .Net will drive this for the foreseeable future.
I've frequently try to place myself in a position of understanding both the old and the new so that I can be the most effective in whatever I'm working on; be it ASP to .Net (which I haven't tackled yet), or VMS to Windows NT, or anything else.

If you KNOW you're going to .Net and do not know EITHER of the languages, why learn one that you're probably not going to use? Is it just because it's called ASP in some way? That's almost like saying you're going to learn JavaScript before diving into Java. Most techniques are vastly different from what I've seen between the 2 languages. Now if you currently are trying to get a Classic ASP job or have one already, of course you need to get up to speed on that, but if you're looking towards making a splash in the future and are just learning, go with .Net Chris Tifer http://www.emailajoke.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matthew Small" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "ActiveServerPages" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, October 07, 2002 6:55 AM Subject: RE: classic asp/asp.net > I highly recommend learning ASP.NET first - it's the future. > Matthew Small > IT Supervisor > Showstopper National Dance Competitions > 3660 Old Kings Hwy > Murrells Inlet, SC 29576 > 843-357-1847 > http://www.showstopperonline.com > -----Original Message----- > From: deb [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Sunday, October 06, 2002 9:44 AM > To: ActiveServerPages > Subject: classic asp/asp.net > > Hi, I have been learning the classic asp.
