Just curious because i want to setup a workstation where i can use it to learn to program in sql and asp. However i want to start using linux. So im curious can i do this?

I know microsoft usings IIS so does that mean Linux uses Apache?

Can someone help me go about starting this.

Thanks.

SQL yes...

ASP, as far as I am aware, no.

Although as far as just hand coding it, think you may be ok

explain a little further please. why not ASP?
 
You can use ASP, if you use apache with the asp extention but it doesnt support asp .net. I would if you want to user Linux learn PHP

EDIT: How do you mean program SQL, SQL is a language for querying db, so you need to choose a db management system EG like MySQL. But all the different DBMS implement SQL slightly differently

sorry i want to know how to manipulate databases using sql. I know its pretty basic to select,modify,delete etc But i want to recall data from ASP using sql databases.

you suggest i use php then if i want to use linux. Maybe ill go a step at a time and concentrate on learning ASP. Then i'll discover how to get data from db tables using sql. What you thinK?
 
If you use windows, MS SQL express and visual studios 2005 express edition , all free downloads from ms. It is easy to get data and insert into a db, it does all the work for you.

There is little point in learning ASP becuse it has been superseeded by ASP .NET, that is already in its second interation.

If you want to learn with opensource stuff PHP is much better. It is a a scripting language like ASP and it is used on t'internet just like ASP
 
In a nuttshell its:

php for Linux with MySql

.NET with MS SQL on Windows.

As others have said you can run asp with apache. You have no chance of running .NET as this is a 100 % microsoft product.

If you are thinking of learning asp then forget it, unless you need to know it for work etc. Start learning .NET.
