Simple Programming Model.  ASP.NET makes construction of real world web applications much easier.  ASP.NET Server Controls (WebControls) are the building blocks of ASP.Net allowing you to build great pages with far less code than classic ASP. Within the Visual Studio environment (VS.Net) you simply drag and drop these controls onto the ASP.Net page (Webform) and the controls are ready to render browser independent HTML. These controls allow a much cleaner way of building web pages similar to the way classic Visual Basic programmers created winforms. You can start to forget about the browser incompatibility issues of the not to distant past as webcontrols work in all browsers -- including Netscape, Opera, Internet Explorer and AOL.

You Choose The Language .  ASP.NET lets you leverage your preferred programming language skills.  ASP.NET now supports more than 25 .NET languages including VB.NET, C#, and JScript.NET, no longer are you limited to interpreted VB and JScript. This puts you at home straight away and leaves you to explore and harness the power of the various objects at your disposal.
