If you have taken either the Basic Web Applications with ASP or ASP E-Commerce Database Basics class, you will see all the huge differences between ASP and ASP.NET. These differences will show you how quickly and more efficiently you can create dynamic web sites.
To give you an idea of how each lesson looks, here is the first lesson (.pdf).
When Does Class Start?
The class runs five times a year for six weeks in January, March, May, August and October. To learn more view the course description page and contact me to find out the exact date on when you can register.
Like any language, ActionScript evolves over time. ActionScript 3.0 is simply the latest version of the Flash programming language that lets you control graphics, animation, sound, and interactivity. However, ActionScript 3.0 represents a significant change (some may say revolutionary) from the previous versions because in many ways it is conceptually and architecturally different.
Key differences from ActionScript 2.0 include:

As I am cursed with no artistic talent whatsoever, I am amazed at what people can do with Flash. From simple animated banners to truly beautiful interactive web sites. I do not use Flash on a regular basis, but am knowledgeable of the scripting language ActionScript and what it can do for Flash.
As an adjunct faculty for a local community college, I ocassionally teach weekend classes on Flash. One of the classes I teach is on the basics of ActionScript.

I am teaching a ASP online class called Basic Web Applications with ASP at LVS Online.com, which will teach you the basics of creating server-side web development using Active Server Pages.
This 6-week class is great for people who have some basic web experience (HTML or CSS or JavaScript) and want to know how they can develop dynamic web pages on the web server.
The class is only $30 $15 and there are no other materials or software needed.
Even though Active Server Pages has been replaced by ASP.NET, it is still used by many companies and the process for server-side development is the same no matter what technology you use. Many of the objects in ASP are still used in the ASP.NET framework and would make the transition to a newer technology a lot easier.
Checkout these great reference guides (.pdf) on ASP and VBScript by DevGuru on to learn even more.
Topics Covered:
Week 1: How a web server works, server-side vs. client-side
Week 2: Processing Form Results
Week 3: VBScript Basics
Week 4: Redirecting the User
Week 5: More VBScript – Arrays and Loops
Week 6: Sessions and Cookies
