plz help.I am 47 How can I motivate myself to learn web development asp.net?
First, do you have to learn asp.net, or would you rather learn another framework, like PHP, JSP, Ruby on Rails? If you don't like Asp.net, try one of these alternatives.
Maybe you can set up a goal. If you're trying to develop a website, design the site, and give yourself a deadline in which to complete it. Maybe you could force yourself to donate $10 to charity for each day your deadline slips. At least someone can benefit from your laziness.I am 47 How can I motivate myself to learn web development asp.net?
You can get motivated a number of ways:
1. desire for money
2. fear
3. ambition
etc.
but it all comes down to you. You can't fake yourself into motivating yourself. Either something motivate you, or it doesn't.
If you can't motivate yourself by fear of being ';a loser'; as you say, then I don't know what can be done. You need some confidence and a belief in yourself. Only you can give it to you.

How do I use ASP to submit simple form data, and have the server e-mail me with the results.?
I have a form I've built using html but I have little scripting experience. I'm trying to find a simple solution for users to be able to submit form data without using an e-mail client. Then have that sent to a dedicated e-mail address for review.
Any help or links would be appreciated.How do I use ASP to submit simple form data, and have the server e-mail me with the results.?
You can use a simple asp form With sending email with CDO, and redirect it to any email address. this is a small sample:
http://www.w3schools.com/asp/asp_send_em鈥?/a>
Also if you wish i can make you the form with saving data in access database while you can view the data in administrator section of the site.
IF you need more help Please just msg me.How do I use ASP to submit simple form data, and have the server e-mail me with the results.?
A great source for sample code and applications is:

You have to join to get unlimited daily code downloads (otherwise it's only one per day). Search for what you want under the ASP catagory.

How can I use the FileSystemObject or the Drive object in ASP to list all files in a directory I specify?
for example you can check if a file exist by
%26lt;%
Set fs=Server.CreateObject(';Scripting.FileSy鈥?br>
If (fs.FileExists(';\\panter\test1.jpg';))=tr鈥?Then
Response.Write(';File 1.jpg exist';)
Else
Response.Write(';Call IS department';)
End If
set fs=nothing
%%26gt;
But how could I list all files in that particular \\panther\*.*.How can I use the FileSystemObject or the Drive object in ASP to list all files in a directory I specify?
You can use the Files collection:
Dim MyFolder
MyFolder = ';\\panther\\';
Dim objFSO, objFile, objFileItem, objFolder, objFolderContents
Set objFSO = CreateObject( ';Scripting.FileSystemObject'; )
Set objFile = objFSP.GetFile(MyPath)
Set objfolder = objFile.ParentFolder
Set objFolderContents = objFolder.Files
And then you can iterated through your collection:
For Each objFileItem in objFolderContents
Response.Write objFileItem.Name %26amp; ';%26lt;br%26gt;';
Response.Write objFileItem.Size %26amp; ';%26lt;br%26gt;';

Response.Write(';Call IS department';)

What would you learn if you were a newbie like me. Asp.Net or PHP?
Please detail how long will take to be good at it. Considering that I will spend an average of 3H per day learning it. Thanks.What would you learn if you were a newbie like me. Asp.Net or PHP?
Hello,
PHP is a relatively simpler language to use than ASP.net. Many developers find themselves to be more at ease with the user-friendly nature of PHP when it comes to coding. However, critics also count this advantage of PHP as a disadvantage. Some of them maintain that the language of PHP has not been updated much, and hence it is still quite archaic and even, somewhat cumbersome for coding. ASP.net, which is a relatively new development, has a lot of options when it comes to languages. Here, you can use languages such as C#, J#, C++ and VB.net. Hence, when it comes to sheer choice, ASP.net has better to offer. But PHP is no less, since it can do its task quite well, even with its minimum language tools. The main thing your site will be used for is database reference. PHP is has much better support for the database management system, MySQL. This factor alone should probably help you make your decision. There is a lot to debate on about the worthiness of PHP over ASP.net or vice-versa. There is probably no end to it, and there never shall be. The problem mainly is that both of them are good in their own place, but people who have been staunchly using PHP for several years now 鈥?some of them for more than a decade 鈥?would certainly not like to go in for the new ASP.net. The price to be paid is quite high, i.e. learning a whole new syntax and getting used to it. That is more the reason why PHP is still so popular.
Good Luck!

Before you continue you should have a basic understanding of the following:
* HTML/XHTML
* JavaScript
*************************************
PHP is great, but be sure you know a little bit about the above mentioned. w3schools.com is a great place to learn all kinds of coding. They teach the web standards that are created by the World Wide Web Consortium. If you were working 3 hours a day on PHP I would suspect you could get through their entire tutorial on PHP in 1 to 3 days. Then you would know all of the syntax, the next step would be to start fooling around with it and when you can't remember some of the code you just use the reference.
PHP. It is open source, and fits with many setups.
How long it takes you to learn it depends on how you learn. I am a hands-on learner so I prefer to get books like PHP Cookbook and learn by deconstructing code. That way, I get the language structure and methodology at the same time I get syntax.
It also depends on whether or not you understand logic, and programming standards already. If you know how to code something in another language, then ramp up time will be shorter. It is possible (and desirable) to do OOP with PHP.
Also, take a look at this:
http://www.w3schools.com/PHP/
PHP
If you spend three hours a day on it, with lots of testing and trying it yourself, you'll be pretty good in a week (being able to cover some of the basics and intermidiate tasks.)
After another week or so, If you dive into MySQL a little, you'll step up your game a lot further.
I would learn PHP. ASP only works Microsoft platforms, whereas php works on multiple platforms and is open source.
Plus, I've used both and PHP is a lot nicer to work with than ASP (ASP is better for specific things but I find it isn't as flexible)
Definately PHP!!!

I am 47 How can I motivate myself to learn web development asp.net?
I don't seems to motivate myself and keep learning. How can I accomplish that? I learn 1 day %26amp; skip several days then I have to come back and relearn what I forgot. I am 47 maybe it is my age? I need to do that , I need an improvement in my finances. Plz let me know what I should do? Or I will stay a loser all my life.I am 47 How can I motivate myself to learn web development asp.net?
I think trimanga hit it. Microsoft targets the larger corporations who need internet and intranet services.
Most everyone else runs on a Linux box. guncoding the page in php and pulling files from subdomains housed in MySQL.
At least they should be.
Why not, if you want to do backend work, don't you pick up a old P-III and set it up like a web server. There plenty of Linux forums, and the more you ask the more you'll get to know people.
The class idea is great but I'd encourage you to get started on your own and make some mistakes in the meantime.
I'm 58 and have two sites that benefit from that knowledge, but I've decided what makes me happy is working on the content and graphic design.
And that's the key to anything. Do what you love to do, and live in the present. And then give yourself a present - to reminjd you of a particular accomplishment.
Good LuckI am 47 How can I motivate myself to learn web development asp.net?
how can we know what motivates you? everybody works differently. Some get motivated by the money, others just enjoy working with computers. If you don't enjoy it, maybe it's better to look for something different.
some people work with a coach to find the best way of motivating them, or to get a clue which job they would like; sometimes, unemployment agencies can help with that, too. but if you're lacking motivation, then maybe programming is not the right thing for you.
Everyone deserves a fresh start.
motivation is up to oneself...when you get up each morning you need to say that you will accomplish this today....do this every day until it becomes a habit.... also, work on you self esteem...
Just think of how people are growing as old as you waiting for your incredibly cumbersome and slothful asp.net pages to partially load and fail to work properly. (Don't worry, it's not your fault, it's the nature of the beast.)
I recently took Visual Basic .net classes at a local community college.
I don't think I could have learned it online or from a book.
What is your reason for learning ASP.net? After studying VB.net I decided the web runs on Javascript and MySQL.
