Professionalism mandates that you study ASP well enough to meet your
employer's requirements.

Short summary: a Netcraft survey shows there are 23 times as many PHP
domains as either .NET _or_ Java domains on the Internet.

[A comment notes that there are about 6 times as many ASP pages as there
are ASPX (.NET) pages, so ASP remains much more common than ASPX].

Why not look at PHP? It's pretty easy to learn, is not that different
from ASP and is extremely popular.
