[AccessD] Learning .Net -- PHP Instead?

Try, and ASP classis is VB Script based, where PHP is more C++ in style.

PHP is similar to classic ASP where code is often interspersed with html
tags which also makes it quite easy to create spaghetti code.

If you are interested in Web programming, I would suggest PHP. Per unit
of
effort, I think most VBA programmers would get further with PHP than
with
ASPX, especially if you are starting out from scratch.

I'm developing a SOAP-based web service that will be used by Access
clients
running the COM-based SOAP Library 3.0. The server backend is being
written
in PHP, currently running under a local IIS7 development server. It is
stupid-simple to implement a SOAP server using PHP's built-in library.
It
was lots harder getting the VBA side to work than the PHP side. (The
real
challenge was getting a WSDL specification that both sides could agree
on,
but that is a separate topic.)
