Title: Welcome to ASP

Don't confuse ASP with ASP.NET.  [The .NET forum can be found following this link. (http://www.expertsrt.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=51)]

This is the ASP Forum.

.NET is an application development framework which includes ASP.NET for web sites.

ASP is a server side scripting language.

Some numbers for the ASP.NET folks, from the Netcraft server surveys, Dec 2005.  IIS has 20% of the web servers.  Of the web sites hosted on IIS, ASP accounts for 70-75% of those sites primary server side scripting language.

So, for all of the web sites hosted, ASP.NET can only account for 5% or less of all web sites.  And I bet Microsoft made you believe it was important to learn .NET?
