Not to mention that if you want to run your ASP code on anything other than
a Windows machine, you have to buy additional application server software
that costs anywhere from $700 - $7,000. Also, the learning curve of ASP is
a little higher and so it might cost more to train a new ASP developer. I
figure it probably all evens out in the end.
My advice would be to learn both if you can. It never hurts.
