Can I skip classic ASP?

Hi guys, is that Okay or reasonable to start studying ASP.Net without studying classic ASP? What are the good and bad things about that skipping?

Thanks

they are virtually NOTHING alike so you don't really have to worry about learning ASP if you want to learn ASP.NET

Things you will need to know or learn along the way to use ASP.NET properly are going to be
VB.NET
HTML
Javascript

these 3 are the most important.

at this point I would only recommend learning traditional ASP if you will have to work on apps already written in ASP (like conversions from ASP to ASP.NET)

And let's not forget CSS. Good web design requires CSS. :)

You can forget about ASP. Once you learn ASP.NET anyways you wouldn't want to know anything about ASP 3.0 ;)

Agreed, It took me a little while to grasp some of the concepts of ASP.net when I switched from asp... but I am nowhere near as advanced as these folks on this board. Great group of people here that can answer your questions along the way!

Good luck.

I agree as well. ;)

While ASP was good, it will just confuse you. I recommend going straight to ASP.NET.

I think it was harder for me to convert to .NET because of my plain ASP knowledge. I was always trying to solve issues using my old way of thinking.
