Hi everyone, I would be VERY appriciative if someone could clear this up for me please.

I am continually stopping work on my web page. I want to learn a language to create web sites, I come from a vb background, so want to use vbscript, but do not know which structure to use. :confused:

I was using ASP, then had second thoughts as I want a language which is newish and will help me if I want to go into web development. I thought about xml after looking into MS's .net suite, but have been warned that this may not be the way foreward and was advised to learn xhtml. :confused:

HELP!!! which one do you guru's suggest? I want one which will be around for a while, and in demand, so I think either xml or xhtml is a good idea, but I am SOOOO confused.

Thank you for ANY suggestions. If xml IS the way forward, can anyone suggest a good site to explain / teach the .css part (part which tells the browser how to display the code as a web page) of this please? :D

THANK YOU!!!!!

hmmm

here is the order of priority i put them in
vb(since .net does use the FULL power of vb, not its *****, vb script), jscript, c#
thats the language
then comes XML
asp+ is going to use xml
so you better know either c#, vb, or jscript

right now
asp is the way to go
php sucks (o boy)

Just wanted someone to confirm it, I am Ok with VB & VBscript and am reading up on .net

Since you mentioned xml there, I was considering using this rather than html with the vbscript. Any ideas on any tutorial sites for the layout please?

I can find loads on the tags and general information, but the stylesheet / .css or whatever it's called to tell the browser how to display the page other than a load of text is puzzling me as I can't find that anywhere.

(ps, like the descriptions - "not its *****") :D

Thank you!
