| Hi!Short version:What would you recommend using as developer tools to make a fairly complex DB appear on the web? Currently I'm thinking of SQL2005 Express Edition and Visual Web Developer 2005EE combined with either VB2005EE or C#2005EE. Seems like a rather steep lerning curve though since I'm used to Pascal and an old old query language called RDO that came with digital RDB on VMS.Thing is, I know what I want to do, I have disigned the table layout and I know just about what I want it to look like. "All" that's left is to make it presentable... :-)/JensPS: Do you know of any example that would show how to work with two (three) tables in a many-to-many relationship with e.g. VB2005EE and SQLserver2005EE? |

| I think anyone here that has spent their careers learning this stuff, and is any good at it, couldn't possibly tell you it will be easy - if it was, none of us would have careers.Having said that - yes you can certainly do what you want to do with the products you named and it isn't rocket science! A good place to start as far as tutorials, and good examples is http://asp.net/ |

| Ok, thank you. I do relize that it's not easy, I just figured someone could tell me if I was on the wrong track. Maybe you'd have said "Well VB is not good because of.... but C# with .... is a great way to go since ...".Visual web developer (EE) for user interaction, VB or C# for business logic and SQL server 2005 (EE) for data storage then?Is it possible to do without VB/C# and just go for Visual Web Developer and SQL server? I mean is it a good approach or should one try to work the three things from the beginning? Most things are possible but I guess there are ways to avoid a lot of headaches.RegardsJensPlease excuse my poor spelling and grammar. English isn't my native language. |

C# is much nicer than VB if you are coming from a C/C++ background. VB syntax is horrid.

| C# is the way to go if you're gonne start fresh with a programming language. It seems to be the industry standard these days and basically all employers ask fro c#-experience when hireing programmers. There are HUGE library collections in the .net framework so I think you'll find it pretty cool to work with once you get the hang of it.--Lumbago"SELECT Rum, Coke, Lime, Ice FROM bar WHERE Price IS NULL" |
