Now, ASP, C++, C#, Delphi, Basic, PERL etc. are programming languages , either procedural or Object-Orientated.
Now, in HTML you don't need to worry about syntax or using strict rules because it won't throw errors.
Let's take for example, some PHP coding which is a server-side programming language:
<?php $first_name="John"; $last_name="Dorian"; if(!(!$first_name)){$name="".$first_name;}else{echo('No first name.');} $name.=" "; if(!(!$last_name)){$name.=$last_name;}else{echo('No last name.'); echo('Full name is'.$name); } ?>
You can see that this is completely different to HTML and it is alot more structured. HTML doesn't really help you to start programming because of it's lack of syntax strictness, lack of functions/variables etc. and no object-orientated programming ability.
In Conclusion, I suggest you start with a simpler language like Javascript, Basic or PHP and then move on to a major one like C++, ASP etc.
Hope that helps.

You can't do anything proper with it other than if(password=='secret_pass') and that is ridiculous.

Combination programs are quite powerful but are also harder to program, harder to maintain, less universitility, and more difficult to find a webhost.
I have a PHP, ASP.Net, JSP CMS that took me 3 months to find a host for. It works like a dream but its a pain to trouble shoot. I took it down and use my own flavor of CivicSpace/Drupal. Which is written in PHP.

By the way , what is ASP.Net . I know how to use Visual C++ 6 so i always found ASP.net mentioned a lot on Visual C++ forums. So are they both the same?
Currently, i am listening to opinions on which programming language to learn during my free time. What i want to learn is to learn how to design webpages with security features..
So any thoughts on it guys or gals ?

PHP is the way to go - free,flexible,powerful and with easy mySQL connectivity dynamic content can be done quite easily.

Ok..sorry ..i meantioned Javascript...I misread the name...I mean Java Server Pages. By the way, i heard also that PHP is very easy yo learn. My friend that has no computer background learn it in 2 to 3 days to create a simple webpage.

Visual C++ is the local version of the web based C#(C sharp) language used by ASP.Net. Their almost exactly alike only C# has better database integration than VC++.
For free time, go with PHP. Its easily one of the best. I like Coldfusion better than PHP but its expensive, difficult to learn, and all premade scripts are very expensive. Its more secure and faster than PHP, but not by a whole lot. None that a site that gets less than 100,000 unique visits per month would need. Go with PHP, anything else is just a waste of time.

Just to tell you how easy php is to learn, while I was taking the web programming class, I was in the process of setting up my webserver which was going to run on linux. After the class was over, I got linux and installed and I decided that I wanted a server-side language for my webserver and I heard about php, so after all the configuring, you know the process of setting up apachie with php and mysql, I went and got a php book at the local book store. I skimed though the book, looked at the scripts and try a couple examples of my websever, and like two weeks later I pretty much knew it. That is now easy it is to learn. You know what is funny tho, is that after I took the web programming class, next semister they droped perl and replaced it with PHP.
So, if you still want to try and learn ASP, which will always help casue some times you might need it in the near furture, I would just go to the local book store get a book about ASP. Try a few scripts read up on it, you will pick it up pretty easy. Well I got to get goin now, got to feed my eel, he is at the top of the tank, wanting to know where his worms are at! LOL!
