Need help (lots) with Javascript
Sorflakne:
But ASP looks so much cleaner than PHP though :P (sucks that it's more Windows-oriented than universal in that regard...)
Loki:
Then learn ASP?
Out of curiosity, are you learning a serverside language for any special reason or just for the fun of it?
pwhodges:
There comes a point, eventually (trust me), when you "get" the concepts that vary between languages in such a way that you can see them all as restricted dialects of one greater "computer language". You may still have to learn different method names and the like in different environments, but that's what manuals are for, right?
Well, your mileage may vary I suppose, but that's how it went for me.
But as for ASP - that's a specific MS technology (though there is an open-source version), and most likely to be encountered in commercial all-Windows environments using IIS. And even then something else, like PHP or Java/JSP or something is as common. I wouldn't suggest learning ASP until you have an identified need to. I currently have sites running PHP, Java/JSP and Perl on my Windows Server at home, but no ASP; in the office it's PHP, Java/JSP, Perl and ASP.
Sorflakne:
Yeah, I'll probably wait until I'm more comfortable with javascript before diving too deeply into them, but it's nice to have an idea of them.
@Loki: I would like to put it to use eventually doing web design. Yeah, I'm aware I've a ways to go in that regard.

All through my CS degree this has been drilled into me, and it is very true for a lot of languages.
