Hmm - did this post escape from 2002? :) ASP has been replaced by ASP.NET, and Dreamweaver isn't a frontend but an IDE (which used to be a lot more popular than it is today) Internal vs Hosted is an entire topic in itself. If hosted, how will you get your data backwards and forwards? If internal, what about your security infrastructure? Your uptime? Etc. For development, if you are a Microsoft shop then Expression or Visual Studio for your development work, and ASP.NET/.NET as a platform (decide whether you want webforms or MVC or whatever design pattern takes your fancy these days). Otherwise there's probably about 1001 OSS shop type products in the LAMP world.

Hello, I'm new on this list having been recommended to it by a friend. I have the task of creating a web site for my small company. I've never created one before, having been a long time PowerBuilder client/server developer. I have no problem learning a new tool/methodology, but one thing I was wondering if someone on the list might have experience with is what I should start learning. Essentially, the web site will have product browsing/searching/pricing capability, as well as ordering. Looking at about 1,000 products. I look in bookstores and see books on many front end tools and many back end tools. The company uses a SQL Server 2008 back end. Where should I start? Should I think about Dreamweaver for a front end? ASP for server interface? Are there any valid Microsoft front end tools these days? ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
