Hello Rene,
If you're this clueless -- which you are -- you should get started with
Visual Web Developer and SQL Server Express [1] if you want to get started
with web development -- or -- you should choose FrontPage if you just want
to layout and publish some basic web pages.
The answer you got in the FrontPage newsgroup was misleading. ASP.NET is not
a scripting language as you were miseld to mistakenly believe. Copy and
paste [2] into a textbox to search using Google or MSN and you'll get good
defintions of what ASP.NET actually is. Read several definitions.
I recommend you do the work to learn C# when developing ASP.NET applications
as all web developers must master JavaScript and both C# and JavaScript
share the same syntax and grammar. You'll soon be learning C# is used
'server-side' and JavaScript used 'client-side.' The difference being
client-side is when your web page needs dynamic funtionality when the page
is already loaded into the browser and server-side is processed on the web
server which builds the page and sends it to the browser for display.
I also recommend learning the C# programming language using a textbook such
as "C# A Programmer's Introduction" from Deitel & Deitel [3]. Once you
learn the C# language you can learn to start applying it by using the
ASP.NET 2.0 QuickStarts [4].
This may be too much for you at the moment but save this reply to disk for
reference and perhaps get started by learning some HTML and authoring some
basic web page layouts -- there's thousands of tutorials around -- and then
come back to this advice when your ready to move forward to learn web
development.
You've got a lot of challenging but rewarding hard work ahead of you.
Persevere.
