asp??

I just took on two new development projects at work that I'm pretty sure involve asp (although I could be wrong since I'm still fairly new to asp) and I could definately use some help.

1. On our internal website we would like to create a table that would contain 5 industry related articles, with 5 new articles posted every day to take the place of the previous days. We would post the title and a 'teaser' intro with a link to the full text of the article (all 5 articles on one page with anchor links). Next to that table we would like to post a list of the top 5 most popular articles, as determined by link hits. What I need to create is a way for the most popular list to be generated and populated automatically, without interaction of a web coordinator. I know that this will most likely involve creating a database to track these links but beyond that I'm not sure how to proceed.

2. Again, on our internal website we would like to create a page that would display all of the conference calls that are scheduled for the next two weeks, with the weeks being displayed dependent on what day you view the page (you would view the current week and the next). Again we would want this to cycle without the interaction of a web coordinator. The second part of this project is that we would have a number of web coordinators that would need to add there call information to this calendar, which I envision them doing through a database interface, but there needs to be an option created in this interface that would allow the web coordinator to upload an audio file, to access the information at a later date to make changes and to add links to related information. I can create the database side of this (I'm fairly sure I can at least) but the rest of it has me at a loss.

Guess I'm just hoping someone out there can help, or can point me in the right direction for help, because it all feels a little overwhelming right now.

Yes you'll need to use asp/asp.net/php/jsp the choice is yours... What programming experience do you have and what platform does your website currently run on?

I guess the thing to do is buy a book and learn... the things you want are simply to do but time consuming, learning how to do them yourself would pave the way for future projects.
