Creepie,

Depends on what you want to do with it.

However it is not a baby anymore it its more a teener.

good points ;)

i'm a web developer/designer building basic applications (shopping carts,
content managers, online course scheduling, etc.)

although i'm fairly proficient at php & cf, i have ZERO experience in ASP,
VB, and C#

i'm confused because every training course i look into for .NET seems to
require i choose what "flavor" i want (i.e. ASP, VB, or C#), not sure which
is the better pathway

TIA as always

Creepie,

Let me first try to explain a little bit.
In .Net is what you try to learn called ASPNet.

That has two flavours to keep it in your words.
As a kind as scripting
With compiled DLL's

When you don't use Visual Studio Net you should forget the second, although
that gives better results.

Most general used is scripting ASPNet. The most documentation is about that,
and those who don't know VisualStudio Net don't even know there is another
way.

Scripting ASPNet you can do with any notepad if you want that or probably
your current editor.

There are two languages used. VBNet and C#. There is no real difference the
only difference is what you are used to. Because you are probably used to
JavaScript, than C# is in my opinion the better choose. (Although for most
classic ASP users VBNet is probably better because that they use often a lot
of VBScript at the serverside).

An aspnet application uses clientside (which is JavaScript) and serverside
code (what is than c#). This probably you already know.

A good website to get started is.

A good newsgroup for your problem (it is most scripting ASPNET)
Aspnet
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet

Web interface:
http://communities2.microsoft.com/c.../?dg=microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet

When you want it with Visual Studio Net than in my opinion is one of the
languages newsgroups or this one as well a good choose.

news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb

news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.csharp

I hope this gives some ideas
