ASP.Net 4 or PHP/MySql ???? HELPPPPPPPP
Okay, so my Question is that what should I learn first ASP.net 4 or PHP/MySql ???
I am 16 and don't want to make money or want to see answers which tell me the financial side of any of the two languages. I just want to know that if I start ASP.net 4 first would it help me understand PHP/MySQL better or should it be the other way ???
Please
and also tell me the order in which I should learn web development languages
eg. HTML,CSS,Javascript, ???

As you have mentioned that you are just 16. So my opinion is to learn first very basic languages viz C, C++. C will help you building a sound foundation for programming, logic building and C++ (extends C) will make you learn the OOPs concepts which are the must ingredient of any technology whether it is Asp.Net or PHP or any thing else.
By directly learning php or asp.net, you may be able to develop some applications but never expect that you will be building very rich featured applications, and you will stuck in the basic concepts every time when ever you need to change even a single line of code.
So I think you must go for those 2 languages first.
In the web scenario you may then start with html , css , javascript and then a particular technology.
Hope this helps...

Really? Can you elaborate on that? While I agree a background is always good, especially in OOP, I wouldn't disqualify ASP.NET just like that....

You tell yourself, do you really think that a person, reading a book which starts with a introduction and ends in a sample application, will be able to develop logic on his own as any book broadly focuses on that particular sample application.
What you think, how many companies hire candidates based on that sample application that he might have developed by reading that book or some tutorials.
Thanks...

It all depends on your learning style. I've seen and trained successful developers that started out with a Beginner's book on web development, and deepened their knowledge in topics such as C# / VB / SQL afterwards....
Cheers,

Thanks For Replying Guys
And I almost forgot to mention that I know VB and have developed my own DBMS system in it for my school Project. I always tried to start C ++ but its too hard for me so I tried to learn Web Development which is till now very easy.
Right now I have learnt HTML + CSS and am stuck between choosing ASP.net and PHP/mySQL.
Please PLease Please PLease give me an answer to my question that which language should I choose.
Thank You. :)

I am biased, but I'd go with ASP.NET. It gives you more options (web forms, MVC, Web Pages) and you can use the knowledge you gain for other .NET based applications as well.
You may want to check out my book Beginning ASP.NET in C# and VB to get started with ASP.NET.
Cheers,
Imar

Thanks Imar for replying.
I also want to ask that would learning HTML in C sharp syntax within ASP.net help me to understand JavaScript. Because right now Javascript's the language I hate the most as it has the most annoying syntax and its got so many version thingies. ( Jquery etc )
And also tell me, considering my age that how long would it take for me to learn HTML, CSS, JavaScript, ASP.net etc ( Web Development ) ???

it depends on you how much time you spend on learning and practicing.

As you said that you hate javascript because of its syntax and versions, then you must be deciding firmly of what technology you would choose, as asp.net has a very large community and changes often. It has very different technologies viz. web pages, web forms, mvc, web matrix, Razor, silverlight etc...
as you know VB then syntax may be annoying for you at first but this syntax is used in most languages viz C, C++, Java, C#...
So if you choose asp.net then you may choose vb.net as your language choice....
