ASP as a language is free
, you can develop with it using notepad if you like, but Microsoft has developed some very handy GUIs such as Visual Studio or Expression Web which make developping ASP, more precisely ASP.NET quite easy and quick.
Downside to using ASP.NET in my opinion, is that the html rendered isnt that great, and you cant really control that.
I dont mention ASP because I have no experience with that, and if im not mistaken, its not really used much anymore.
Anything microsoft requires Windows based hosting, which is hard to find, expensive and from my personal experience with the few hosts I have tried, really bad. It works well for corporate servers where everything is handled internally in my opinion.
Php seems to have a larger community, but ASP.NET's is growing. I have found quite a few tutorials and examples on the web which allowed my to learn the basics (for ASP.NET).
