I'm want to try and learn ASP, what would you say is the best place to start? should i go down to PC world and buy a massive ASP manual or should i look elsewhere on the net or something?

there is no "best way" since peoples learning tendicies differ from soul to soul

But i'll give some first hand suggestion on how i got started many years ago:
- This book by Scott Mitchell: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0672318636/4guysfromrollaco - http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0672318636/4guysfromrollaco
- This web site by the same Scott Mitchell: http://www.4guysfromrolla.com - http://www.4guysfromrolla.com

And if you are starting from ground zero, you may want to consider learning .NET instead, ASP 3.0 ("Classic") isn't going away anytime soon, but the need for it will be dwindling immensly as ASP.NET builds steam

I agree with MorningZ .NET is the future, but I think just reading free codes like web wiz forums and figuring out how they work is a good way of learning...
