Differnce between ASP.net and vb.net

[Heather]

I am a beginner! What is the difference between ASP.net and VB.net? As far as my understanding VB.net uses VB as the language. I want to learn .net technolgy. So where should I start? I should refer to the books on ASP.net or VB.net?VB.Net is a language, ASP.Net is not. Similar to ASP, where you typically use VBScript, or JScript to code your pages.<BR><BR>As to where to start...What do you want to do? Build Web Applications primarily? Strat with books on ASP.NET. If you want to focus on Windows applications, then start with VB.Net books.Thanks for the help! Yes, I want to build web applications. Can I use VB(or VBScript) as a language for ASP.net? What is the default language for ASP.net? Is it necessary to have Visual Studio.net to write applications in ASP.net?VB.Net is the default language, and no, you cannot use VBScript, or older versions of VB for server-side coding anymore. (Though you can still connect to COM objects written in old-style VB) <BR><BR>No, it is not necessary to have VS.Net...It makes it easier, but you can write ASPX pages in Notepad, if you like...As you did ASP.<BR><BR>So to learn ASP.NEt do I have to learn VB.net? again where to start? I familiar with VB!
