    Everything is easy if you know it. I would advise you to go for asp.net as this is one of the most powerful languages for web development.

    If you want to learn non-web programming, then learn C, C++, C#, and VB. You can get a good job with any or all those languages.

    I’d advise ASP.NET if you’re wanting to do really complex web applications but I would also advise getting a decent knowledge of JavaScript (which shouldn’t take that long) since you’ll often want to do a few things client side and ASP is no good for that since Firefox doesn’t support it and has 45.5% of the market.

    ASP.NET could pay off. But strong PHP DOM HTML CSS and mySQL could do almost anything!

    If you're really serious about making a good living, go with ASP.NET and SQL Server. Focus your studies on C Sharp (C#) and really learn to work with SQL Server databases. With those skills, you'll be able to find a great job making really good money.

    There are still tons of corporations looking for skilled .NET developers and they pay really well.

    A language is not profitable. A concept, its implementation, and the way you market it, can be profitable.
    I use ASP.NET but I could also use PHP. it doesnt matter much.

    I think on average, people who can code C# on the .NET platform tend to make a bit more. But, on average you'll be earning the same on almost any programming job, just more or less depending on what level you're at.

    Explore some languages and see what you find to be interesting and fun. You're more likely to stick with it if you find it to be enjoyable.

    u could advance ur skills with xml / javascript .... or even with more in php tricks and security issues ...

    if u want another heavy language , like PHP , i recommend JSP (Java Server Pages) .. more security and the Object Oriented looking makes it really an excellent choice ...

    asp.net is the fastest i believe / but when the security is the last think u r thinking about trust me ...

    er. first of all, ASP is serverside, there is nothing preventing you from outputting javascript within the rendered html when using ASP, it will be supported by firefox as well as any other ECMA SCRIPT (JS) compliant browser compatible (opera, safari, etc).

    and second: the browser usage stats quoted are misleading, they are specific to wc3schools ONLY and as such, a very limited demographic consisting of developers and people set out to code, learning, debug, etc. firefox is the natural choice for such purposes, hence the high numbers.

    it would be equally unfair to draw conclusions on Linux usage worldwide based on the visitor stats for ... say slashdot.

    as for language to learn as easy vs commercially viable: javascript + 2 of these frameworks (jquery, prototype, YUI, mootools, GWT), xhtml, css and some PHP - at least in the UK, a so called 'ajax' developer can earn up to twice what a PHP one can.

    All languages are profitable. but you should master it and fast enough to finish the job. Experience and exposure matters, as in every field. Java, C and ruby will never die.

    .Net languages are easier to learn due to their increased productivity, designer windows and coding intellisense feature.

    I always thought PHP was the easiest to learn, or maybe it is because that is the first one I picked up. Working on VB.net at the moment and it seems much harder or maybe it is just because PHP is better documented at php.net. I haven't found as easy to understand documentation for .net related stuff.
