ASP.NET Because:
  • It gives you more choice of languages
  • It's more powerful - ASP can't even Send emails without the help of an additional component
  • ASP.NET will replace ASP sooner than you would think
  • ASP has about 6 classes (might be wrong on that) e.g. Response, Request, Server whilst ASP.NET has 2000+ classes
  • It kills spagbol code (asp tangled up in html)
  • and lots lots more...

I know you say above some of the reasons to convert to ASP.NET. But seriously why should someone "want" to learn ASP.NET. I really cant think why ASP.NET is so much better.

Please Give me some suggestions. I would like to learn ASP.NET but i can do almost anything with Classic ASP as it is!

I am quite good in ASP as it is so what would make ASP.NET better for me?

That's the thing, when you can do 'most' things in ASP there is little incentive to switch. I can code a lot faster in ASP, but there are a lot of things I just can't do with ASP that I can do with .NET.

Don't think of it as "ASP vs. ASP.NET" because that is really quite misleading. It's more of "ASP vs. .NET" because you get the full power of a complete development platform to do almost anything. e.g. Try creating a ZIP file with ASP. It's simple with .NET.

Or, in other words, it's a matter of getting typical web server power with ASP vs. getting real "traditional" client power with .NET. There is no comparison.

Also, if you are doing large applications, .NET makes code reuse infinitely simpler and is also faster by 3x~4x or so.

But, if you just need a small site with basic functionality and thousands of visitors per day, then ASP is more than capable of doing what you need.

Otherwise, switch to C and a stripped down Unix for maximum power and maximum work

i must say that ASP.NET is better because of Mart's reasons. I don't think that you have a right to vote if you haven't used ASP.NET at all yet, it has a lot more simplicity and power than ASP.

Plus, it isn't that hard to learn VB.NET if you have a background in ASP. (Pretty much same syntax)

And that is the reason why ppl should not learn vb.net when they coded a lot in asp; they keep their bad habits of coding. vb.net is a (for the most part) Object Oriented Language, but 97% of all vb.net coders don't use OO, thus if you learn c# or J# from scratch you have a much better grasp to learn OO.
