hi, i have been interested in web Development for a while. i have got to grips with HTML and have made a couple of VERY simple functions using JavaScript. i have a "for dummies" book on both ASP.NET and JavaScript. which should i delve into first?
I thought it would be better to look into ASP first but wanted some other opinions...
thanks.
 
Learn Javascrip first. ASP.NET is a frame-work for building web applications for windows platform. Javascript is not confined to one platform. Opt for opensource frameworks rather than ASP.NET
 
JavaScript is very basic, but the syntax used in ASP.NET is very similar. It's probably best you starting on JavaScript, and getting confident there, and then moving onto ASP.NET.
 
Although, both ASP.NET and JavaScript complement each other, if you are looking for server-side development, you would have to start with ASP.NET, and if you are looking for client-side development, you would have to start with JavaScript.

Having said that, if you are already familiar with HTML and a bit of JavaScript, and don't know much of programming languages such as C/C++ or VB, its best to start out with JavaScript.
