baz487 0 Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Hello,I Just started to learn web building on this great website. I have the option of learning VBscript or Javascript. I plan on using ASP.Net 2.0 in the future. Would I not be better off just learning VB rather than Js, since ASP.NET2.0 only uses C# & VBsripts?Thanks,Baz487 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Synook 47 Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Learn JavaScript. Full stop.Javascript is far more compatible with all major browsers, and you can do far more with it through objects such as the XMLHttpRequest. JavaScript also has a far more supportive XML DOM interface.If you learn VBScript, you will create web applications that will not work very well (or not at all) outside of IE.Learn JavaScript. Don't learn VBScript. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Reg Edit 0 Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Learn JavaScript. Don't learn VBScript.Yes.Also don't confuse VB.NET and VBScript. They are totally separate things. When you start using ASP.NET 2.0, whether in VB.NET or C#.NET, it will be better for you if you have never used VBScript. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aspnetguy 30 Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 VBScript is only useful if you plan to use classic ASP. I would still recommend JavaScipt for ASP but there are far more examples for VBScript. For client side scripting definitely use JavaScript. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
