I guess I’ll play the devil’s advocate then :devil:
Asp has it’s place and I used it for many a corporate app back some years ago. It is really only nice when you need to work with a program’s api or dll and the ‘create object’ command becomes very useful. However – if it’s plain-jane websites with database connections – then asp has nothing to offer over php or any other language. Which is why I use php on my websites 
asp.net, though, is a different animal entirely. Don’t let the asp part of that make you think this is the same language – because it is not. It is a brand new set of languages with a brand new set of classes and a brand new compiler.
It’s VERY nice and lets you get up and running pretty quickly once you know the ins and outs. I am in the process of converting some sites to .NET to take advantage of some cool features.
