Hi Janet, is the site classic "asp" or "asp.net" I would be sure it's "asp" In this case you can start to learn asp.net from the books you have purchased but the code will not work on a non dot net server.
Dot net is very nice but a big steep up from classic "asp" due to all the thousands of classes you can now use in code and it's now a proper OOP language that you can write windows apps and web pages using very similar code. Also you can write dot net code in different languages VB C++ C# J# with classic asp you could only use VB. I use note pad or Home/Site to write asp but have found the need to use visual studio to write dot.net as the inteli sense is a must have when you have so many classes methods to remember! This is just my thoughts and as I still have a long long way to go in dot.net.

Hello Group- I have been asked to make some modifications to a web site that is done in ASP. I have only one experience using ASP and it was done via the *cookbook* method. (I bought a password utility using ASP and did manage to get it installed and running--much to my surprise). Anyway, as all the pages in this Web site are in ASP I thought I should learn more about it. The requested changes don't really require ASP -- mostly rewriting the content-- but I don't want to break anything while I am dong this project and thought this would be a good opportunity to learn something new. I bought two books -- ASP.NET for Dummies and SAMS Teach Yourself ASP.NET. I am stuck at the beginning getting the environment set up. I am using a PC with Windows XP Pro and have a web site that I can use for learning that has the .NET 1.1 Framework installed. I would rather not set up my PC as a web server. Can't I just upload the pages to my web site and run them from there? Do I really need to install IIS and the .NET Framework Software Development Kit on my PC? Sorry if this is really a stupid question. Thanks for any advice. Janet ____ .
