Hey I decided I want to learn web development again, and wondering what you would recommend me learning; PHP or asp.net
which has the best functionality, speed, security, learning curve etc.
I have previous knowledge on programming with the c++.net framework if it makes any difference.

Thank you for your time!
 
PHP is very much like C++. I prefer it, and here's why:

ASP.NET will only run on a Windows server, and only with the IIS Web Server component.

PHP will run on Windows, Linux, BSD, and Mac OSX. It will run on IIS, Apache, Nginx, and Lighttp.
 
I used both tizag.com and w3schools to learn everything about webdesign -- Between the two, they have most everything covered that you need to know to start out.

Good Luck!
