ASP.Net can use VB.Net just like ASP can use VBScript. &nbsp;ASP.Net supports many languages such as C#, VB.Net, and many others. &nbsp;So, when you try to pick up on ASP.Net, you'll actually have to learn one of the other languages. &nbsp;I am in the process of learning ASP.Net using VB.Net. &nbsp;I reccommend checking out the following book:<a href="http://www.sitepoint.com/books/aspnet1/" rel="ugc">http://www.sitepoint.com/books/aspnet1/</a> it teaches you ASP.Net using both C# and VB.Net. &nbsp;Its helped me out a lot.

Hi there.<br />
<br />
I've been programming in ASP for a few years now, and I'm finally looking into learning the .NET framework. However, I'm a little baffled on the difference between ASP.NET and Visual Basic.NET (VB.NET). I've heard both used interchangably by some, and then heard that they are different from others. Using the web, I haven't found much info to distringuish between the two. Are there significant differences? Is ASP.NET more web based while VB.NET is more Windows based? Could you please explain by comparing and contrasting these two technologies so that I can develop a better undestanding? Thank you!

ASP.NET vs. Visual Basic.NET - The difference

Web development can range from developing the simplest static single page of plain text to the most complex web-based internet applications, electronic businesses, and social network services using a wide variety of languages and standards, including the familiar HTML, JavaScript and jQuery, ASP and ASP.NET, PHP, ColdFusion, CSS, PHP, Flex and Flash, but also the implementation of a broad list of standards including XML, WSDL, SSDL, VoiceXML and many more.
