ASP or ASP.NET

Hi there
I've posted a similar question on the ASP message board as I am keen to get
as many opinions as I can.

The situation is that I am a student just about to start on my dissertation,
which is going to be a website that queries a database. I researched all the
different methods of doing it (eg Java servlets, C) and decided on ASP. I
bought a book and decided to install XP Pro as it has the latest IIS version.

Then I read ASP is a dead language with the advent of ASP.NET. Is this true?
Would I be flogging a dead horse spending the next six or so months learning
and developing this application in ASP rather than ASP.NET?

Thanks in advance
Martin
