some general questions regarding asp

[ixxalnxxi]

i'm profecient in php/mysql but alot of the web development jobs i've been looking at are usually asp, or asp.net.

so i'm confused, what is the difference between asp and asp.net?

does C# have anything to do with either asp/asp.net?

here is a quick rundown on asp.net vs asp (Google .net vs asp for more hits):

.Net does have the ability to code in C#. Since I have never done any C# programming outside of .net I can not comment on the differences between C# and C#.net but I believe that they do exist as well and I can not comment on what they are.

Personally I have been doing stuff in asp.net for the last 2 years and I cant ever see going back to asp if its my choice. To me its just so much more powerful.

Here is an article why you should not use asp.net:

Just thought I would toss that one in there so you can see some arguments why 1 would not want to go with asp.net. I have a reply for every one of his 8 arguments that would basically just imply that this guy did not like change and refused to change the way he did things. Ya there is a learning cure but once you get past it, development is so much better.
