ASP.Net

Post by hallsofvallhalla »

Well i have to start learning ASP.net for work. Was wondering if anyone has any good advice. I am still a little confused on how it exactly works for I have never fooled with it. Is it like a web wrapper for VB and or C?

I learn better and faster when I am using a language in examples or trying to make a game from them. This is how I was going to learn ASP but is it built that way? I am a little confused how it takes VB graphics and puts them in the browser.

I have a nagging suspicion that I am going to be forced to use ASP over PHP for some of the stuff that I am going to be doing at work. So if I learn anything I will be sure to tell you, likewise. If you get anything keep me informed.

I would much rather stick with PHP, but people always got to change things.....eh maybe for the better.

ASP.NET is a subset/extension (depends on how you look at it) of .NET. Any .NET language can be used to make ASP.NET pages, although I'd recommend C# (for many reasons which I'm not going to list here). Whereas PHP is very "C-like" (obviously there is a bit of C++ sugar in there too..but we all know php is practically C :D )with its procedural style coding, ASP.NET is more OO (similar to Java, if you're not accustomed to C#) oriented.

lol tbh, i would go WPF/Silverlight (Silverlight is a subset of WPF strictly for the web..but you can also use WPF in the web browser directly). WPF/Silverlight supports media much better (3D for instance), than ASP.NET
