Where should I start???

I want to teach myself ASP. The problem is, where to start?<br />I have a couple of ASP pages downloaded from the free downloads area of this site, but many require existing files, that are not included.<br />I can't figure out what does what without a full program (nicely commented preferably) and the software to run it all on...<br />I have a site that can use Access db, and ASP pages. What else do I need???<br />Can someone send me something they don't mind me experimrnting with, tweaking and just general putzing around with??<br /><br />Thanks in advance. (I expect a few flames, but some useful advice would be nice too).<br /><br />Seán
