What is ASP.net
I'm a self taught asp programmer (sort of), but I have never really figured out what ASP.net is. What is it??? What does it do for you that asp does not. What are the differences and the benefits to using ASP.net.
Just want to know. |

As far as I understand it (and the other guys will correct me if I'm wrong) all of the .NET languages compile into an executable form. So instead of an ASP script being run when someone hits the page, a compiled version of an ASP.NET script runds, which offers speed advantages.
The language itself isn't changed a huge deal, but things are added which extend the language. I'm sure the other guys can be more specific. |

So does it still need to ru on a web server? Or can the executable be run by itself as a standalone program?

You can develop .NET applications for both the web and the desktop, however I believe that they're fairly seperate.
Hopefully someone else can clarify this. |

You can see a brief tutorial here http://www.w3schools.com/aspnet/default.asp - it is well worth while learning it, if you already know VB and ASP the learning curve is relatively small.
Generally speaking ASP.NET is used for web, VB.NET and C# for desktop apps |
