The job market in the UK must be very different it both here and US.
Probably close to half of the programming jobs I see these days ask for C#.
Thing with .net is that if you're working on a machines that has the .net
framework installed (and I believe everything past XP does by default), you
won't know that you're running a .net app. It's not like Java where you can
see the VM running in task manager (or sometimes have a popup in the task
bar). That's how it's supposed to be. It's supposed to be seamless and to
not bother the end user with anything they don't need to know.
I know your machine has .net on because we've had conversations before on
free C# compilers and I recall you finding the framework folder.

It's a server-side dynamic page setup like php. It uses the .net framework
on the server. .aspx pages are asp.net, pages with just the .asp extension
are the older-style asp (active server pages)
ASP.NET pages are written in one of the .net languages, most commonly C# or
VB)

Most of the developers I know personally work in C#. I'd put it up with
Java, php, perl and C++ for popularity and usage, and that's not just
hobbyist.
It's far more used than VB or delphi. (and most VB these days is VB.NET
anyway)
