Building my first ASP app from scratch

[david7777777777]

While I've been learning ASP over the last year or more, and I've already built a few simple ASP applications, I'm now embarking on my first full-blown ASP application that will be used by hundreds of employees.

I'm doing my development on my laptop working with Visual InterDev 6 and Notepad, and publishing it to my Windows 2000 Server. I just completed taking the ASP courses at a local computer school and I'm wondering what it would take for me to do this with ASP.Net instead of regular ASP, or if I should even bother considering it.

I cannot buy any hardware, like a better server, or any software like Visual Studio .Net, but someone in the class told me I could just learn the .Net syntax, download & install the .Net framework onto my Win2000 Serve, then I could build my application using .Net technology.

I'm now looking for a few second opinions on my options here. Thank you for your insight.

[tt]If you're already proficient with .ASP, .NET should not be a problem.

Head to

http://www.asp.net/Default.aspx?tabindex=0&tabid=1

and download the file you'll need to install on the server for .NET to work.

Well if you're just about to start on your first application I would say stay away from .Net and learn it in your own time, while it is similar there is a lot of differences. And theres nothing wrong with ASP )
