I prefer PHP. However, I am currently learning ASP also. I still would rather work with PHP. I find it easier to code in and much more powerful. Also, if you are looking to spend a little money, check out these books: **PHP:** [http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0764535617/qid=1053751242/sr=8-1/ref=sr\_8\_1/002-2551283-1162431?v=glance&s=books&n=507846](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0764535617/qid=1053751242/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_1/002-2551283-1162431?v=glance&s=books&n=507846) **mySQL:** [http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0764516922/qid=1053751276/sr=1-2/ref=sr\_1\_2/002-2551283-1162431?v=glance&s=books](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0764516922/qid=1053751276/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2/002-2551283-1162431?v=glance&s=books) And if you need any specific PHP help, let me know. As electronGeek said, “I have a PHP fetish…” ---

I bought the blueprint book for PHP and I havent really taken a whole lot of time to go through it yet but after the first chapter I very impressed. It takes you right from the very begining and teaches you everything… books are good 🙂
