    ASP or ASP.NET? ASP very easy. basically the same shit.

    ASP.NET is totaly different as in you no longer write markup in the page. You use components and events. How fast you learn it depends on how good your OOP skills are. However knowledge of HTML and inner workings of a web server will help a lot. If you know C# or VB.NET and PHP I'd take the job and count on the fact I can adjust in 1-2 months.

    I went the opposite direction going from ASP to PHP several years back. I would say other than syntax/capabilities the same mentality applies in a way.

    Years ago, I had to learn ASP, fast, from scratch. I bought one of the "Dummies" books and taught myself in three days.

    Also, Microsoft has a help file (.cfm) for Microsoft Windows Script Technologies that you can download. It's a FAST reference for Classical ASP (VBScript) and also includes JScript, J#, C#, and C++. I use it as a fast reference for Classical ASP.
