ASP 3.0

Hello Everyone,

I am going to ask a few questions are may seem very stupid because I have just started looking into ASP earlier today and I'm a little confused on a few things. I got a book on it and it says I need to install ASP 3.0, where can I get that? Is it free or do I need to buy it? I have the book "Beginning Active Server Pages 3.0". If there is a good link to a tutorial or any basic information, please let me know.

Thank you,
Thai

ASP 3 is included with Windows 2000.

You can download ASP 2 via the Win NT option pack, and I believe PWS (for Win 9x) is ASP 2.0 compliant.....

Is there is major difference between ASP 2.0 and 3.0?

Thanks,
Thai

Shouldnt be major, newer language references, usally do everything the old does, except adds quite a bit new features, or commands, and fixes some known bugs in previous versions(or adds more hehe) in any case you could look into ASP 3.0 if you are going to have a Win2k Webserver with ya at times(IIS5) otherwise its ASP 2.0 if you are going to be working with IIS4 or PWS. The language themselves are interpreted through the IIS webserver, or the PWS (Personal Webserver, I see it as a test platform)

ASP 3 is supposed to be faster and much more scalable, it also has a couple of new bells and whistles, but it's pretty much the same as ASP 2
