ASP.NET

ASP.NET

According to Microsoft, "ASP.NET is a technology for building powerful, dynamic Web applications and is part of the .NET Framework".

Basic HTML and CSS knowledge is preferable. Having worked with Classic ASP or PHP won't give you much of an advantage, since ASP.NET is a whole new way of doing things.

The most common languages for writing ASP.NET applications are C# and VB.NET.

The 2 languages are not that different, and if you have used one of them, you will have no problems at all learning the other.


One of the main differences between ASP.NET and Classic ASP/PHP is the fact that ASP.NET is compiled, while Classic ASP is always interpreted. PHP can be compiled by using commercial products, but usually it's interpreted as well.
