Man You have two choices

Microsoft development methods including asp/asp.net/sqlserver/ .net framework

or you have to go into the open source application php/apache/mysql

the two gives the same results
but the open source is more difficult in coding method but its advantage that no need for license no need for paying high prices for server licensing

as well in asp/asp.net programming is easier but u have to pay for everything.

now from a webdevelopper point of view my recommendation is to go into the php/apache/mysql world
bcuz of:
1-reliability the linux/php/apache/mysql is more reliable in term of availability / viruses and for sure less downtime
2-faster in term of cashing and webpage processing
3-free tools free OS free enviroment(even if you have your own server u dont have to pay a nickle for hosting your own websites)
