You mean between the C# and Asp.net? This semester I have to choose.
The problem is that the instructor says that the C# cource could be a
bit much since I have no OOP experience (such as Java or C++).

Ridiculous!

VB.Net fully supports OOP, and it's just as necessary to use it in well
designed VB.Net programs as it is in C#. It's the task at hand that
would make you start thinking about OOP, not the language you're using.

Your instructor sounds like one of the "VB is a toy language" brigade.
In VB6 he might have had an argument, but in VB.Net he's just wrong.


So if ASP.net can be useful i should take this, and maybe OOP with
VB.net next semester instead in paralell with the C# cource?

To be perfectly frank with you, I think what you really need to do is
have a look at a couple of tutorials (google for 'em) on VB.Net and C#,
and look at how each uses classes. I think what you see there will
reassure you...

(To be even more frank, you might want to do a few tutorials before
going into the course. It's really not an unreasonable expectation for
you to have the basics down in either language in a weekend...)
