First, just FYI, I'm a Trainer, not a designer, not a developer.
I recently succeeded in using PHP to get data out of a Flash training quiz I've developed and into a .txt file. I did this on my own laptop using WAMPServer to simulate a hosting environment.
Then I went to my IT department and asked for a server to host the quiz so the people in my company could do the training. They said our servers are Windows Server 2003 / .Net 3.5 / ASP.Net environment, and do not support PHP.
I didn't know anything about PHP before this, nor anything about hosting, but I made my way via Google and some tutorials and forums. I know absolutely nothing about ASP .NET. I'm pretty clueless overall. Now I'm faced with needing to learn ASP .NET -- just enough of it to get my quiz data out of Flash into some permanent medium, in the same way I had to learn that bit of PHP.
I plan to do more searching on this forum for that information, but I'm hoping someone can point me in the direction of a good resource for some quick hands-on learning. I don't have the time to learn all the ins and outs of a new programming language (and my company would throw a fit if I tried to).
BTW, I'm posting this on the AS3 forum on purpose -- ultimately I need to learn ASP .NET but I only need to learn this aspect that's relevant to interacting with Flash.
Thanks!
