A CEO told me recently that one reason a financial website of his was secure is because it was developed with ASP.NET.
Could there be any truth to his statement? Are there any features that make ASP.NET inherently more secure than other languages? Or are there features that promote secure programming practices better than other languages?
An application is only as secure as the creators make it. Sure there are some features in asp.net, first one that comes to mind is that a text box will not allow html to be input (request validation). But this can be easily turned off be either necessity or a lazy programmer, and there are some lazy ones out there.
Sounds like that CEO probably just regurgitated some sales pitch someone used to sell him the application.

Both Silverlight and Ajax control toolkit offer the Slider control.
Question: Which one, from your experience, is the better choice?
My reservation about the Silverlight control is that Silverlight seems to be 'abandoned' by Microsoft [correct me if I am wrong] and I might have to extend the project with additional features in the future.
My reservation about the Ajax control is relative lack of documentation [in comparison with Silverlight].
In my opinion silverlight is the best one to use.
For the comparison of both please visit this link.

I'm .Net Developer.
Now I want to learn Silverlight.
Please Provide some guidance for how can learn ?
Which book or site I would prefer ?
I learned by diving in and building an application, along with a book (Pro Silverlight 2 in C# 2008 by MacDonald) and lots of googling, watching videos, www.silverlight.net, and some help from Stack Overflow.
But I guess it really depends on how you learn best, and what you want to do with it.
The basics of it come down to knowing XAML, Blend (maybe), and how to build services.
As a starting point, have a look at the many resources available on http://silverlight.net, e.g videos, quickstarts and so on.
Also check out the reference documentation in MSDN, it also has a getting started section.

I'm looking for a good video conference API I could use in my ASP .NET MVC 2 web app. I would like something that is easy to use and that is compatible with as many browsers as possible, on Mac and PC. I found TokBox, but it uses flash and it doesn't integrate too well in an aspx view. But something very similar would be great: I want to be able to connect random people easily with sessions and streams, kind of like ChatRoulette.
This answer should help you. Basically the author suggest to use the draft of HTML Media Capture of Html5.
Also the second answer in the same question ave a nice suggestion imo.

Would you recommend using asp maker to create a website from a SQL database or is Visual Studio a better option?
It's difficult to say without knowing your requirements.
In general code generators like asp maker are designed to make certain types of apps and, if you need that type of app, they're great.
I would suggest downloading the trial and seeing if it meets your needs. Long term, you may be better off with a more general tool like Visual Studio (although you don't necessarily need visual studio to write ASP/ASP.net)
Also, keep in mind that classic ASP is somewhat outmoded; asp.net may be a better technology to focus your time and energy on (better community support, up-to-date tools etc)

What are some good resources for aspiring web designers? I've been a software developer and web app builder for nearly a decade but my UI skills are from an engineer's perspective. I appreciate quality design and great UX and I'd like to become a better designer myself, what are some good resources to get started with and/or follow (i.e. blogs, twitter accounts, etc)?
I'll start with a couple that I think are relevant:

http://www.sitepoint.com/books/design2/ (the principles of beautiful web design)
Thanks in advance.
