About ASP and ASP.net ???

[Martin]

I want to post my Access to the internet pages.

My friends told me that I have to use the Active Server Pages to connect the
Access with the web page.

So, I determind to learn. Please kindly give me an advice :

ASP , ASP.net which one should I choose to learn by myself.

Which one is better for access?

Which one is fit for us who have develop MIS by Access and want to put some
FORMs to the internet web page?


Thanks

Martin

You won't be able to use the forms you developed in Access with either:
you'll have to use ASP or ASP.Net to develop new forms that do the same
thing.

Access can't really be used in the manner in which you're describing.

ASP is older and, in some ways, simpler, and may be an easier technology to
get started with. However, while it will doubtless continue to be supported
for quite some time to come, it is no longer being actively developed. In
ASP pages, VBScript or JavaScript code is mixed with HTML in one file, which
makes pages difficult to maintain.

ASP.NET is newer, more powerful, and correspondingly more complex. It is
being actively developed - I believe ASP.NET 2.0 is due for official release
in early November. ASP.NET permits the separation of VB.NET or C# code from
the HTML, in separate files, which makes pages easier to maintain. ASP.NET
integrates well with other .NET technologies.

If you're planning a career as a developer of web applications, I'd
recommend ASP.NET. If you just want to get a few data-centric web pages up
and running in a hurry, then you might be able to get started more quickly
with ASP.

If your organisation already has its own web server or hosting service that
you will be required to use, be sure to talk to your admin people first -
there's no point investing a lot of time and effort in learning a new
technology only to find that it is not supported on your server.

Thank you very much.
