Dave, you might want to check with Bob on which direction he's headed with ASP first. For example, if using the "traditional" platform, go with a book on ASP, such as wrox.com which I heartily recommend. If "upgrading" to the .net platform, then you need to get a newer book on .net. If the latter, I doubt you'd be using C# (i.e. creating web services), so choose a version that focuses on VB. When buying a book on VB be careful to buy one oriented toward scripting on the net, not the application environment itself. While you are at it, a book on Javascript (not JAVA) would be good as well. I own this one and like it a lot: amazon.com.

Dave, I'll bet you learned to ride a bike too...
...when was the last time you rode one? :)

Have fun,
Joe

Dave, my whole point was that it doesn't make any difference how long it has been since you have programmed this or that...

Once you have learned to ride a bike, you will ALWAYS be able to get on a bike and ride it...

Programming... same way...

Also, once you have learned a few languages, new ones are easy to learn.

So, excuses are not allowed... :)

Have fun,
Joe
