OK so I might have another nice job offer. Sadly, this job would be me coding ASP.NET websites and whatnot. I know, I am sorry, but if I do happen to get offered this job then I would have to take it since it would just be too good to pass up.
Questions:
- How easy/hard is it to switch from knowing PHP to doing ASP?
- Are there any forums like this that are for ASP? (good forums, not stupid sitepoint ones filled with ads)
- Any good tutorials to start learning how to use ASP that someone knows of?

I took a brief trip to the darkside over the summer and didn't get on with it at all, but that was with ASP 3.0 not ASP.NET. I realised how much I had taken for granted the hundreds of functions written into PHP over the years to get jobs done with the minimum of fuss. I'm ashamed to say I actually gave up after a fortnight, and we persuaded the client they'd get a better product and quicker if they'd let me do it in PHP
I searched and searched for an ASP equivalent to this site and didn't find one. The WROX forums were okay, but only because it was linked to the book I was working through. http://www.4guysfromrolla.com is helpful but like so many ASP resources, slow and riddled with ads. I guess thats what happens to you when you go down the Micro$oft route!
If you have experience with VB syntax you should take to it fine.
