Hi mikee.jk,
I too is a student....and choosing to learn now is a good start :D
Personally, i would choose PHP, because i'm into it...I don't know ASP.
However, the choise is always yours,,. You could learn PHP or ASP depending on how people would influence you..as well as this thread.

For tutorials, I started at w3schools. For PHP (http://www.w3schools.com/php/default.asp), and for ASP (http://www.w3schools.com/asp/default.asp).

All you need is some cross-browser platform like XAMPP or WAMPP. :D

i will start with asp

And mysql.....

hope to be good....

asp = microsoft and proprietary (paid)
php = open-source (free)

asp is generally combined with OracleDB (paid),
php is generally combined with MySQLDB (open-source)

Good Luck and welcome to the forums
