Using Mono, you can run ASP.NET (and other .NET Framework apps) with some caveats. Here's a guide on setting up Apache with Mono.

I did learn it a long time ago but it has become obselete.
Asp.net is so much bigger and flexible. ASP is a simple scripting language whilst ASP.Net is a full blown OOP development environment.

I agree with Ronin. I use Asp.net for all of my sites and although some of the functions can be funky, I like how easily I can accomplish mini applications and connecting to data bases.

I'm using java instead.

The job opportunities here demand more Java programmer than .NET programmer.

Yeah Java is used much more nowadays than ASP, because it's pretty easy and it's capabilities are great.

I'm a MYSQL/PHP addict, have never really used asp apart from a couple of times in an IIS environment.

If I was custom coding, I would consider it as it does have some nice features, particularly with the database - phpmyadmin can be hard to use with MYSQL.

So ASP is better to use with phpmyadmin? If so, it seems like that would make ASP much more popular, since phpmyadmin is popular.

ASP cant be used with PHPmyadmin (there's a clue in there!)

They are two seperate coding languages, cant be mixed up, one or the other

Sorry no, I don't think you can use phpmyadmin with ASP - it is for MYSQL databases.

I am saying the microsoft software to manage databases in ASP is better than phpmyadmin IMO.
