What do I need to build ASP applications?

What do I need to build ASP applications? Let's assume that I don't have Visual Studio .NET, would Visual Studio 6.0 allow me to build ASP applications? I just want to learn ASP but I don't know from where to begin. I do have some tutorials but I don't know what kind of "compiler" to use and where to find it. What about VBScripts or JavaScripts? // Afterall I realized that even my comment lines have bugs

Read your tutorials; after all, if there're any good they should explain what you need to get started. If not, try visiting your local bookstore/library for a book on Classic ASP/ASP.NET development. Regards,
I skimmed the tutorials (they're not bad at all) and I am in the middle of the jungle so my nearest book store is 6000 miles away. I already know that I can visit bookstores because this is not a concept that you invented just now. As a matter of fact this question was popped to me right now and I needed an answer for tonight because I have to make a decision by tomorrow morning. If you don't want to give a reply then don't give one, because I have mood swings too and I don't need to cope with yours. That said and done, thank you for your rather quick reply. // Afterall I realized that even my comment lines have bugs

what you need to know. Well first, ASP application are mostly built using JavaScript or VBScript for coding the server side. You can also use Perl if you get Perl from Active State. So if you know VBScript, you are all set. If you don't, it's not that hard, you will pick it up. You need a server that will serve you ASP pages for you to test, and of course for people to view. IIS and Personal Web Manager are the ones. (don't pay attention to Personal Web Man...). IIS is the one. Apache provides a module that can serve ASP too, but I have that on my Linux machine and not sure if they have that for windows, although I'm sure they do. Apart from these components, that's it. Just start building your *.asp pages and serve it up. Need more info, tell us.

Thank you very much for your answer Laimis. I am a hardcore C++ and at some level an assembly programmer, but someone asked me if I could make a website using ASP. I said yes (even though I don't know anything) but I wanted to write a simple application just to see how difficult or simple it would be to develop one. Well, I didn't know what to use as a developing environment that's why I asked that question here. Again, thank you for your reply. // Afterall I realized that even my comment lines have bugs

I would recommend getting a book like: Teach Yourself Active Sever Pages 3.0 In 21 Days Authors: Scott Mitchell, James Atkinson. This book was a good ref when I was starting out learning how to code VB Script and Active Server Pages.

No compiler needed for this one, it is an interpreted language by a file called asp.dll biult into Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0 Server or Workstation.
