Re: Active Server Pages

PHP is much more powerful than ASP.

| Cool!  Well, here goes...
| I have a created a web site for a "real" dj company:
www.kineticsounds.com.
| This site features a music database that the potential patrons can peruse
to
| get an idea about the music these djs have.  It turns out that the music
| database is quite functional now that a few form elements have been thrown
| in, and the customers can now inform the djs which songs they like the
best
| by clicking checkboxes.
|
| I did all this in Perl/HTML, and the Perl took forever to learn - but here
| we are.  Can someone point me in the right direction to find the resources
| (books,  CBTs, videos, etc) that will help me to learn how to revamp the
| music database using ASP?  In particular, I would like to create a
component
| that features a listbox of scrolling database items with a checkbox next
to
| each item.  That is, instead of scrolling the whole page, I'd like to
scroll
| the items inside of the component's listbox.  When one of the items in the
| list suits my needs, I'd like to check it and then (eventually) send the
| information to the server to be processed.
|
| I'm doing my best to avoid being a complete leech/albatross/dead weight
and
| I bought: Active Server Pages for Dummies by Bill Hatfield of IDG Books in
| order to learn as much as possible in a short time.  It's a nice start,
but
| as usual, I'm stuck in the "no man's land" of knowing more than nothing
| about what I'm talking about, but not enough yet.
|
| Thanks in advance for being way awesome,
|
| - Doug
