C programming

Hi
I was looking through web programming ads and I found someone seeking a programmer that knows ASP and C#
Why is C# required? I mean what dows web programming have to do with C#?
thanks

 

Asp.net can be codes using visual basic , c# or j# syntaxes so It is required.

 

ASP.NET is the platform. C# is the language.

ASP is a scripting language


ASP.NET & C# is compiled code & is faster & has a lot more capabilities than ASP.

 

C# is sort of analogous to Java (JSP and ASP are both scripting languages).

 

is C++ different from C# ?

 

Yes, it's pretty different.

C# is a microsoft language & runs on the .NET framework & can be used on the web or in applications or components.

You wouldn't use C++ on the web...only for client & server applications & components.

 

You can think C# as managed C++ (memory management ,etc differs)

 

ASP isnt a scripting language either as classic asp was written in JScript or VBScript

.Net can be written in almost any language, out the box VB and C# is there (think Java.Net is too but dont quote me) and there are easy ways of getting IronPython, C++, cobol etc running - believe Ruby will even be supported with a release on the 23rd

 

you can actually do either C# or VB

 

like comparing fire and water.... C# is yet another Microsoft abberation that should have never made it into any production enviornment.
