PHP or ASP.NET

Hi All,

Looking for some general direction really.

I've been dabbling in various coding languages this year and I'm a bit of a 'jack of all trades' but the time has come to choose the Microsoft or Open Source platform with a view to making a living in the future.

Am I right in thinking that coding principles in ASP.NET could be transferred to VB.NET to make desktop applications.

General comments saught

Thanks all for the replies.

I'm currently downloading the .NET SDK from Microsoft (350mb at 10kb :eek:

).

Anyone know if ASP.NET can be used with MySQL? Adding MS SQL Server onto web hosting seems to put the price up.....a LOT lol.
