Im already familar with Mysql/php how difficult will I find it to learn .net and asp?

Also what is the best way to learn this?Im already familar with Mysql/php how difficult will I find it to learn .net and asp?
I am learning MySQL and PHP at the moment. Sorry can't advise you on how difficult it will be. But i was learning from W3Schools which i found a bit too difficult. Some one on here suggested Tizag.com which i found really easy, you could try there. The only thing is i can't see .NET there but W3Schools has .NET tutorials.

Right off the bat, some of the differences between PHP and ASP.NET includes:





1. ASP.NET using code-behind to separate logic and HTML while PHP doesnt


2. Different style of creating web pages. Inlining data is prevalent in PHP while ASP.NET encourages the use of asp web controls to piece together web pages.


...and...


3. ASP.NET is .NET centric while PHP is more open-source.





There are some ways to learn ASP.NET (and others like T-SQL, Windows Forms programming, and ADO.NET) such as going to a bookstore and reading up on the latest ASP.NET.





Or, you can be like me and plop down some serious money to go through classroom training. You can either learn piecewise, or you can learn most everything about the Microsoft .NET platform in under three months like I did (see link below for more information).
If you are totally familiar with php then you have the basics for any programming language. Even though php is server side scripting once you know one the rest are simply modifications of syntax whatever they are primarily designed for. Over 25 years I programmed in 14 different 'languages' from assembler through most of the common 3GLs to dedicated database, server and client side scripting. I'm now 68 but I reckon that given a new language I could produce something useful in a couple of days.
