Actually I second this. In addition, you could make your own projects and keep using ASP classic.

I have personally had more ASP classic in my life than I wanted to, but aside from its age and possibly dwindling support, there's no reason you couldn't make a game or app that you wanted, target to a mobile platform and slowly learn ASP.Net or another language in the meantime.

I highly recommend Python, FWIW. I tried jumping from classic ASP to Perl, C and Ruby, but none of them stuck until I found Python, so at least from my perspective, it's an easy transition from ASP to Python. Your mileage may vary.
