Out of ASP & CGI? Which one is easier to use and fast to learn?

CGI is just a language interface and as such cannot really be quantified against a language. Many languages can be utilized through CGI such as C, C++, PHP, Perl, Python etc etc

About the easiest serverside language to learn (assuming you aren't already proficient in other programming languages) is PHP, takes a while to master tho.

Not having used ASP (yet) and rarely having used Perl (the most common cgi language) I cannot really choose between the two.

If you have access to using PHP, use that ;)

go to http://www.webmonkey.com and start learning php. you can do with php anything you can do with perl/cgi and asp. but of those two i would say that they ar about equal for learning. Here is what i mean go and learn PHP. then take a look at cgi. it will make a lot more sense than before. then after looking at cgi take a look at asp, you will find that there is very little differances between the thre of these languages (assuming that you dont embed the php to your html, you simply make it all php) But yes, definently go for php.
