Doing the 2nd year of my HND Software Development and were all learning asp now i was just wondering if anyone on here had any tips or advice about the subject in general.

Strange they're teaching you classic ASP as it's all but dead in commercial terms as it's been far superseded by ASP.Net.

Anyways, the best site for tutorials are http://www.asp101.com and http://www.4guysfromrolla.com.

I think its just to get us started or atleast i hope so. The last class had we were to write a function to say which day of the week it is using the whole (if then else) way of doing when theres a single line capable of doing just that in different formats. Pretty much tells you where were at lol

Whn I did a HND in Computing a couple of years ago we used classic ASP for some reason. Would try and apply the same ideas you've learned to a more commercially used languages like PHP or ASP.NET, as knowing only classic ASP is fairly limiting if looking for a job in this area (imo of course).

I can't speak for ASP.NET, but unlike classic ASP, PHP seems to have a built in function for everything, which is nice
