Hey all,
I was wondering who around here uses ASP.NET/VB.NET?

I'm just starting in it, I have a background in PHP, no guru but I've done sites, various lil programs and such.

I got hired to do some things for a mortgage company, I was doing some of it in ASP, which I've had to pick up as I go.

Anyways, I'm wanting to switch to .NET for the CMS, can anyone give me some pointers?

I've never worked with OOP before, so it's all quite new and difficult so far.

I have a few questions but I'll wait to get a reply first.

Thanks!

I have worked with ASP, and it is just like any other language. The difference between languages breaks down to two things (1) Syntax and (2) API. If you have a solid understanding of basic programming concepts you will easily be able to switch around between languages.

If you are having trouble with OOP. You should get a book on OOP. It is very different from function based programs, but can be very useful. I like to think of OOP as box of different sizes. You start with a very small box and then work your way out creating bigger boxes around the first small one. Sometimes you will need two piles of boxes or more, and you will then use those boxes to make a pyramid or some other more complex entity.

When you say CMS you mean the .NET content management system? That is rather broad, as there are CMS's made by many different vendors and you don't need .NET to have a CMS.

I worked at a .Net shop for my internship and never noticed that OOP was much of an issue. Most of what we did was quite procedural. Kinda like using the built-in objects in Javascript.....

Once in a while some one would make a custom object and everyone else would be way impressed!

Now I bet C# would be a different story all together, but since I have turned my back on Microsoft, I may never know.

Hey guys, thanks for the replies.

WarMage, I have to create a custom CMS. Great eh? Thanks for the box idea.


Norm, I've never been around any programmers, started in my bedroom and everything I do my friends go 'whoa' lol even when I create something simple. I've never messed with OOP that I know of, this is a first.
