Re: ASP or ASP.NET

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

It is not a dead language, it is simply not being developed further as
asp.net is much more powerful.

You should spend your time learning asp.net, it will run fine on xp pro and
you can develop with the SDK for free, or get a copy web developer express
if you dont have vs.net. It will also help with your job prospects when you
leave uni.
