ASP.NET is leaps and bounds better than ASP. I would never use ASP but do do the occasional ASP.NET job (although PHP is my primary and preferred language). I'm not sure about learning ASP.NET fast, but you should start by: - Picking a language to use. VB Script and C# are the biggies. IMHO VB Script is easier, C# is better. - Picking an IDE. WebMatrix is free and easy to use. Visual Studio .NET is expensive and not easy to use but potent. - Knowing what database you'll be using. Probably Access (which totally sucks) or SQL Server (which kind of sucks). Other than that, I personally always start with a good book. If you do that, pick a book that uses the same language and IDE that you'll be using.

Nobody has enough money to make me do ASP again. That said, there have to be a ton of ASP jump-start resources out there, but the people who know of them are more likely to be on ASP lists than on the PHP list... -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

VTC.com has some ASP tutorials... you can get their Monthly "University" program for $30.00 a month?
[PHP] Gotta learn asp.net...
*sigh* I'm a hardcore PHP programmer.. I've been using it for over five years now, and would consider myself fairly advanced. I have a project where I'm being forced to do some ASP.NET development, which I've never touched. I need to learn it fast. I'm thinking there must be some other folks around here who have been in similar situations. I'm looking for some pointers on good learning resources, specifically for someone who is an experienced PHP programmer, but who knows nothing about .NET. What helped you most in adapting your PHP skills for .NET? Hope this is an appropriate question here.
