You're fooling yourself, Rene. First, ASP and ASP.Net are not the same
thing. If you expect to be developing a web application in a couple of
weeks, forget about ASP.Net. Start with ASP. It is *much* simpler. ASP.Net
takes at least months to get familiar with, and years to master. No
combination of gee-whiz tools will change this.

Check out the microsoft.public.inetserver.asp.general newsgroup to find out
more about ASP. Also, the following section of the MSDN Library online has
lots of help regarding ASP:
