Know ASP want to move to ASP.net

[John Doe]

I've been writting small simple webpage for years using FrontPage and ASP.
I'm thinking it might be time to take a look at ASP.net but am not sure
where to start. Is there a suggested site that would help someone move from
just ASP to ASP.net? Things like in ASP you'd write the code like X and in
ASP.net you'd write like Y.

Is there a (Free is possible) application that I should use to develop
ASP.net code in? I assume that FrontPage isn't going to cut it.

John,

ASP and ASP.NET are really quite different.
I believe Visual Studio Express would suffice for your needs to start with.

Basically asp.net is object oriented and _all_ code needs to be written
inside classes. you can either code in C# (most common I believe) or VB.
I find c# to be quite similar to Javascript, but other peoples opinions
differ.

re: resources, I would perhaps with something like www.w3schools.com to get
a little understanding.

Hope this helps.
Stu

OTOH VB.Net (as opposed to C#) will probably make the learning curve
just a tad less steep for a classic asp coder used to vbscript.

Probably a better resource would be http://www.asp.net/

Try www.asp.net and the Classic ASP to ASP.NET forum.
