I would like to use asp,but think it may be too complex... Do I need to set up a database first? then adjust the asp to work with the database? any suggestions for sites that give simple instructions would help.
maybe php or cgi is better?

A very objective question, with answers that will vary.
Is it easy to learn? from my point of view very
Do I need to set up a database first? then adjust the asp to work with the database? depends what you want to do and how you feel most comfortable, but the two are pretty much independant, you do not need a database to use ASP, it is just a set of basic script commands with which you can retreive infomation from a db
There are many sites where you can find examples, look in our links forum for some examples.
maybe php or cgi is better? That would depend what you wanted to do, and on what your server supported.

learning any programming language really depends on background. But I feel that Visual Basic (VBScript, ASP) is one of the easiest languages to learn.
Of course, we often take things for granted what we already know and think it's very easy. So, check out sites such as ASP101.com and other related tutorial sites.

Just so everyone is aware, ASP is not a programming language, but more like a filter, it parses the web pages and passes the necesary enclosed scripts (vbScript. Jsctipt etx) to the relevent engine.
As such, it is not ASP that you need to learn, but rather the scripting languages it suports like vbScript and Jscript
