ASP Help.

One of the projects I'm working on will require me to have knowledge in the ASP language. How hard is it to learn? What should I know?

I had to do a quick project once, and that thought me all I had to know. It's not difficult. Getting used to the <% took some time, but that was it.

I was looking at that. I accepted the job, then noticed that all of what is done is in ASP. Needless to say, I may do all the pages in the out put HTML and just ASP to generate the page. That way it's easier to update and what not, but I can still learn ASP.

Virty, you should check your inbox.

That's ASP's job, being a SSL. Any reason as to why they want to do it in ASP and not PHP? PHP is a much wider language to get support for and generally considered to be stronger, although ASP programmers can find tons of reasons to stick to ASP and the whole IIS rules thing.

It's pretty much like PHP, and pretty much as easy to learn. The W3Schools documentation is good, as it is for every language, but one of those Sams' 24 hour Guides to ASP could be useful right now for you.
