ASP / ASP.net Questions

Hello:

I have a client who is determined to use ASP for his site. My client is a job recruiter. He wants the sales reps to be able to login and update their invoices and a few other functions which have not been completely identified yet. I am unfamiliar with ASP and have no idea where to start.

I went to the bookstore and found books titled ASP and ASP.net. What is the difference between the two? Is ASP outdated and ASP.net is replacing it? How do you determine which of the two to use?

My client's site is going to involve a database. As I browsed throught the books I believe there was mention about Microsoft Access. Can you use MySQL with ASP or must you use Access? If so, the version of Access that I have is for Microsoft XP. Is there a special version of Access which is used to do web development?

Does anyone have recommendations on how I can begin learning ASP or ASP.net? Are there any recommendations for books? Online tutorials?

Thank you for your time in answering these questions.ASP and ASP.NET only have one thing in common. The name. Read this: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.devpapers.com/article/22">http://www.devpapers.com/article/22</a><!-- m -->

Do not use access since it can not handle major loads. People use it for examples since people have it most likely.

You may want to search around: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://asp.net/Default.aspx?tabindex=0&tabid=1">http://asp.net/Default.aspx?tabindex=0&tabid=1</a><!-- m -->

and look at these: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://asp.net/Default.aspx?tabindex=8&tabid=47">http://asp.net/Default.aspx?tabindex=8&tabid=47</a><!-- m -->
