You could of course try Delphi Prism, if you want to be able to do asp stuff, but in a language similar to Delphi (the Prism syntax is a little different). It would save you having to learn C#. REM Objects seem to be doing lots of other cool stuff with the language (a pascal compiler for Java

Hi Steve, Approaching it from the delphi/pascal orientation first...(not meaning pascal server side--and that is possible as well) ... You'd find much in Delphi for Php that is very familiar. It is built on top of an opensource framework " VCL for PHP", and you'd probably appreciate E's familia

I think RoR is a fairly good choice and I've played with it a bit and am impressed - bit of a learning curve from Delphi. Whatever technology you choose, you'll likely need a good understanding of HTML, CSS and JavaScript. I don't think Intraweb is suitable for doing any serious web stuff - a
