more of a point of view really rather than a help me kinda thing

I’ve been programming ASP for about 6 years now and I need to switch to another language before I find myself frozen out the industry.

I bought an [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET) book (the obvious choice I thought) but every job I look at wants developers who don’t just know [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET) but also C#.NET…why is that?

Are the 2 very closely linked (other than using the .Net framework)

Would switching to PHP be easier (I gotta book on that as well) ?

any helps appreciated :cool:
