ASP Vs HTML

I have been using Dreamweaver 3 for about 6 months, and getting my feet wet on coding HTML. Mostly, I'm an educator doing an educational web site for our employees. But I find I do enjoy creating informative and visually pleasing pages. My primary web site is on the VA's World Wide internet, VAWW, which is not accessable from the outside, so I can't invite you to view the site. However, the server is a Microsoft product and recognises the ASP extension. Last week a coworker helped me cut and paste a routine to do a current date on the home page and it was a WOW!! Now I'd like to find out what other Active Server Pages routines are available. Since I don't use MS Frontpage, where can I go to learn what is available? Are there recomended publications or sites?

hello Brigg, and welcome to TWF!

First off, I'd like to say that you can't compare HTML to ASP. ASP is a server-side language used to perform logical proceedures. HTML is the markup that makes the results of the ASP proceedures look pleasing to the eye Wink.

As for resources, if you like the cut & paste method, you may want to check out http://hotscripts.com.
You can find tutorials and more code at many other sites, such as http://asp101.com, http://aspin.com, http://4guysfromrolla.com/, and... uh.. *brain fart*
