    I checked my public library but there were ZERO books on learning ASP or even ASP. Well, I am sure there are many members who use ASP, so if anyone here used a site, would you post the link?

    ASP 101

    There are tons. This one is pretty good, though.

    I didn't really ever use a site to learn it, but for reference 4 Guys From Rolla is excellent.

    My favorite refernce book is Using Active Server Pages. It's pretty good in teaching how to use ASP and is very comprehensive.

    A VBscript reference may be handy, but I have found the above book had enough there to not warrant buying another one.

    These are strictly for ASP, though - if you're doing this for a career, you're better served learning ASP.net. There are subtle differences between the two.

    I'm serious. If you already know how to code good solid HTML, then learning PHP will be easier than you think.

    Think of PHP as an open-source alternative to ASP. It goes hand in hand with MySQL. It works on all platforms for all computers.

    Check into it. I know I love it.

    Even I have been able to put together some PHP/MySQL stuff, and I'm a computer idiot. :)

    (I got a book from that SitePoint.com about it. Pretty good book for beginners, I thought).
