Newbie, Wikipedia

Hi!

I'm a total newbie when it comes to ASP (or any type of server-side
programming).


I want to start a project that does the following:


1. query Wikipedia for information regarding articles using the
DotNetWikiBot C# framework (http://dotnetwikibot.sourceforge.net/);
2. process the queries and build and serve HTML tables based on the
results.


I just signed up with http://www.asphost4free.com today. They only
support regular ASP by default, but there is a beta program for those
wishing to try ASP.NET.


First of all, is what I am hoping to do accomplishable in regular
ASP,
or do I need to sign up for the beta? Can it be accomplished in
ASP.NET at all?


I am hoping someone here can provide some newbie advice on how to
accomplish this. Thanks!

for ASP.NET.
Ummm...I think, *if* you use *that* methodology, then it can *ONLY* be
accomplished in ASP.NET.

Unless you are a starving student, you might consider getting a paid hosting
account. GoDaddy has ASP.NET available for under $5 a month.
https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/hosti...5Fhdr=&ci=5652
click on the "compare windows plans" tab for what you get at that price.
(Don't let them sell you any of the unnecessary add-ons, though.)

Could you recommend any complete newbie introductions to ASP.NET? I
have no experience with server-side programming at all. Until two days
ago I only ever had a geocities account, which doesn't allow write
access except for paid accounts.

This is a classic asp group.
Dotnet questions should be asked in

That site also has forums, where you can ask any more questions you may have
on ASP.NET, as Evertjan suggested.
