ASP Tutorials

[Andrew Taylor]

As I'm sure you have all worked out by now, I'm a PHP person!

However... I have a couple of projects which really need to be written in ASP/MSSQL so could do with some tutorial sites to get me started.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I've finally replaced the old linux server (for development) with a Windows one, so can easily mess about without breaking anything

Thanks

Like any coding trial and error. An easy way is to start looking at pre-defined applications. Many come with description for each line of code and are easy to fully. Best place to start is aspin (http://www.aspin.com). Just install and see how the code responds/works for each application.

If you are after a quick starter for ten then try Webwiz (http://www.webwizguide.com/kb/) I would also download the free scripts from here as each are fully described on each line of code and there is a full support forum.

There are plenty of other sites but these should get you going

Excellent, thanks

Was going to try trial and error, but always nice to have a few sites to check against should I get stuck

if your going to Microsoft side i would say use .net or does it have to be asp?

.NET

Means you can write solutions with OO in mind like you probably do with php.
Debugging is easier
Lots of open source components out there for data access, error handling, caching, you name it it's there :)I could go on but a search on google would uncover the benefits :)

No specific reason for ASP, just seemed closer to PHP in terms of coding and neither project is particularly complex

I'll have a look at .NET now

I'd recommend .Net over ASP. ASP is *so* 1999 :D

Am curious sladmin to why? Is it because your very comfortable with vb asp? I have to admit. Before i upgraded my site to SubText i used asp for my contact form as it was easier for me to put something quickly together while maintaining it "spam proof" and i didn't have the cms solution at work :gagged:

Yeah, yeah but it's always good to try keep up with development as it can make life alot easier. We just upgraded our apps to 2.0 at my work about 4 months ago and never looked back.

To be honest ASP VB was the first dynamic language I started with, so I suppose it's like my primary talking language. I know it's out of date but I'm there are lots of people who still use it and I'm happy using it :D
