If you're not looking for a job with Google, what they are seeking in
skills is irrelevant. Python is a perfectly viable language, if you
choose to go that route, but ask about it in a Python group.

The .NET framework is no charge to add to a Microsoft/IIS server.
It's a different environment from classic ASP, but if you're starting
out, it's a great option.

By the way, ASP isn't a programming language, nor is .NET. If you're
considering .NET, again, look in a .NET group, and plan on learning
C#.
