Well I use to code in NCIS but after TNT came out I gave up the whole idea of creating my own RSVP and went straight to SMB3.

NCIS Naval Criminal Investigative Service
TNT, Turner Network Television, or Trinitrotoluene
RSVP, R.S.V.P. stands for a French phrase, "r?pondez, s'il vous pla?t," which means "please reply."
SMB3, Super Mario Bros 3

He's messing with you.

Waht is ASP? I have only seen php. Then again I am no programmer.

ASP, PHP, Perl, JSP, Coldfussion and Ruby are all server side languages that are used to build dynamic websites like this one.

Comparing ASP and PHP is sorta (not completely) like comparing Windows and Linux. If you are going the Windows - IIS route or are familiar with Visual Basic or are making an ecommerce site then ASP would be a good choice. Otherwise PHP or Ruby would be a better choice.

Coldfusion is the version made by Macromedia and JSP is Java's server side programing language.

If you are just starting out and trying to decide on the path you want to take then I would recommend Ruby or PHP. I wouldn't use the word rubbish to describe the others but I would recommend skipping them.

If you want to be a web developer then I recommend going in this order.

1. A very good understanding of XHTML.
2. A very good understanding of CSS.
3. Basic understanding of Ruby or PHP.
4. Basic understanding of mySQL.
5. Basic understanding of Linux.
6. Basic understanding of Apache or similar.
7. Go back and master each one in the same order.

ruby reminds me of CPP and C# more than PHP....

I'm quite partial to Super Mario Brothers 3 as well.

It was quite hilarious how both of them had no clue.

Hello,
Here is an interesting article on PHP vs ASP. Good luck to you.

PHP all the way...the most powerful (and secure) programming language in my opinion. PHP offers such a robust selection of features. And...most importantly...it's open source which means its free.
