[thelist] Re: [thechat] ASP vs. ASP.Net - Anyone made the move?

[Don Makoviney]

As you can tell by my email address I am  a bit biased. But I am falling
deeper and deeper in love with ASP.NET. It is so surprisingly logical.
Everything is based on controls and events (basically). . .that's it!

My biggest hurdle right now is ADO.NET - in my mind it is not quite as
logical, but I am starting to wrap my head around it. Very powerful.
