Learning ASP

[James Bond 007]

Hello everyone!

I want to start using ASP but don't know where to start. If you have the time, please answer the following questions for me.


- What do I need aside from Nt Server, Visual Basic, and Visual Interdev.

- I can create some pretty fancy OCX. What does ASP requires, Dll or OCX? If is Dll, is it ActiveX Dll or compile class module Dlls?

- What is MTS server.

- Can you give me a very brief concept preferablely analogy of how all of this ties in together.

- What is a good book to get started with

Keep in mind, I am very proficient with VB but just missing the ASP part.

Thank you!

All you need is Personal WebServer if you only have WinNT Workstation or Win95/98 or Internet Information Server if you have WinNT Server. The only other thing you need is notepad or whatever text editor you want to use. There is a HUGE number of sites that have tutorials and more than enough information to get you started. MTS is Microsoft Transaction Server. Look up the info on it on Microsoft's site, no one here in the space alotted will give you more complete information than the one's who created it.

Word of advice, forget your dll's and ocx's and learn how to code ASP first. It's a bigger difference than some may lead you to believe.

How does all of this tie together? Again, go to http://msdn.microsoft.com/ and start your research. You'll get a VERY good overview and indepth look at how this all ties together.
