Easiest Script to use for learning?

[twinkle]

For example I used PHPBB and by disecting it, it has helped me learn PHP.

What kind of script or specific script would be the most useful in helping me work with ASP. I am going through the tutorial, but it seems for me I learn quicker when I can start with a program and adjust and modify it.

Why not just try to find one that does somehting you want a website for and go there? There are a lot of pre-made asp scripts. Browse around, find one that interests you and play around with it.

If I told you that there is a great gold exchange website script, you may have no interest in it and would make it harder for you to learn.

I think in another thread someone listed a lit of different forums for ASP. Since you used PHPBB to learn php, you might want to check out some of the asp forum scripts to learn.

I disagree with learning from other people's scripts.
Everyone has a different style, if that particular script is written with bad coding practices, then you will pick those up and adopt them.

It's much better to learn all the basics on your own from a book or a website, then gradually build up your own applications.

I agree. By looking at others' coding, you will only confuse yourself as different programmer can use their own style and use shortcuts. I think its better to buy a book and read it from basics.

That is exactly what I did!
Well not for ASP, but for other languages I generally learnt from reading about the history and structure of the language as a whole, not just from reading bits and pieces of code.
It all ends up like a big puzzle if you do it like that.
