ASP Migration to ASP.NET

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition
ASP.NET is not light work, I've
been reading two books at the same time, one on ASP 3 and the other on ASP.NET
and its like learning two different languages (VBScript and VB.NET) and I
found that treating them as different makes it easy to learn the language
(from now on when I refer to language it mean VB.NET being use in ASP.NET) and
adapt it to my old applications. This article will not touch all the changes
(the changes from Beta 1 to Beta 2 are many many many pages alone) but I want
to give you a look at what to expect.
The one thing I hate
I have read multiply books on ASP
and I am very very pissed off about the following statement being used -
Do you see it? When calling a
method ALWAYS use brackets for the parameters. I always have and its very good
practice and makes code more readable, ASP.NET has finally put a stop the
madness of this by forcing people to use -
And its about time too.
