Which Language is best for asp.net?

[andy89]

Hi.

I am currently in the process of building my website for my business, i am at the planning stages and i have decided to go with asp.net. Does anybody have any recommendation for a specific language for asp.net eg VB, c#, c++ etc, i am willing to learn. Cheerz :D

Well any .NET language will be suitable for use with ASP.NET, so its all down to personally preference.

C# or VB.NET would be fine as by learning one you are almost learning the other due to the similarity (to a point) in syntax

Well, I would think PHP is easier... I just dont know why it took me real fats to learn PHP but up till now, I havent even been able to learn ASP.net. Anyway PHP also has support for lots of extensions like GD and stuff.. You can see more @ www.php.net.

ASP.NET is the .NET varient of Microsofts server-side scripting languge (ASP = active server pages) correct? which is its own languge and VB, C#, C++ have nothing to do with ASP? (bar the fact there all MS languges).

this is my understanding of the languages

PHP & ASP are server-side scripting languges to create websites

javascript + some VB is client-side scripting for websides

java is a client side language for allsorts of stuff which need to be compiled

C++, C#, VB are languges that are compiled and are generaly independent of other programs on the windows OS

am i right here or not?

asp.net isn't its own language, you can use either VB.net or C# to program an asp.net site.

back to the real question go with C# :D

C# is the more readable so go with that ;)
