I would skip classic ASP and go directly to ASP.NET. If you already have VB or VBA programming experience, you can easily adapt to VB.NET. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Drew Wutka Sent: Friday, April 03, 2009 2:12 PM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] Choosing web technology I am self taught in pretty much everything, including the web stuff I got into. My personal recommendation is to start with HTML and ASP, to learn and understand how web apps work. Of course, this would almost be like telling someone to learn Machine language if they wanted to learn to program. The difference is that web applications are a different beast from normal Window's apps. It's a client/server situation, that has it's own quirks. Once you are familiar with HTML and ASP, when you go to something like ASP.NET, you do so with the understanding that ASP.NET is using Javascript and server side stuff to simulate a 'real time' environment, even though such an environment really doesn't exist in the HTML world of the web.

It has been recently suggested (at work) that I 'pick' something and learn it. Seems like a broad generic request to me...but it is from a non technical person. So...I guess if I wanted to create interactive/dynamic web applications...what criteria would I use to determine the appropriate language/technology?
