hi, These are updates to C, C++ and MS ASP.

SO to your question, Yes i think you should start with ASP.NET (Web Development Language) as it provides a more flexible and Advance feature environment than it's predecessor ASP.

As for C# an object oriented language Linked to the .Net platform successor to C and C++ (More for building desktop applications).

It is expected that all of the people and businesses using Visual Basic 6 will eventually migrate to Visual Basic 2005. How many new programmers VB.NET will pick up is anybody's guess.

the syntax of vb is more relaxed, maybe too relaxed. for a small project it's probably ok.
but for a larger project, even by reading the code is painful, not to mention maintaining it.
C# uses most of the code conventions. If you are a beginner, i guess c# is worth investing time & efforts.
Cheers,

C# and VB.Net (and C++ CLI and J#) are just thin layers over the .net framework. Which language you use is actually pretty irrelivant for most of the day-to-day programming you will do. C# has a bigger following because the syntax is almost identical to Java - which has a HUGE following.

My two cents worth:

Learn using VB.net because it will be easer for you to understand code like this:

If car.running= true then
'Do something
end if

And once you get familiar with the .net framework and general programming concepts learn C# so you will understand code like this"

if(obj.prop == true)
{
//Do something
}

Also knowing both languages will open more doors for you

Actually I started reading both on VB and C#... I kinda like VB better because I feel its more 'English-like'... But C# seems like it is the way to go...
