Are you designing a static website, or just a plain basic HTML with some javascript? If yes, then you should move on to learn some server side language like ASP or the most popular one is PHP.

What is it all about, do I need to learn it, is it the next big thing?

I dowloaded Visual Web Developer, but it is not exactly intuitive.
ASP is not the next big thing! The language itself can be consider an old version by Microsoft. The next big thing in Microsoft based scripting language is the ASP.NET. I would suggest that you skip ASP and start learn PHP because it is much more easy and fun to learn.

What ASP and PHP really means is the ability for your page to interact with a database (MSSQL or MySQL). If you use a basic HTML, you won't be able to do that.

You can learn both of this language from w3schools under server scripting menu.
