No, just download VWD. You can start building asp.net apps immediately with that and you dont need to run a seperate web server to test your code.

Hopefully youve done programming before else you will have lots of hair pulling fun with .net. It is not the friendliest of environments for people who have never done programming before. If this is the case, I would jsut stick to classic ASP for what you want.

i have done programming before its okay. object orientated stuff is not my friend but for once i got time to learn it. programmed in various languages i get the fundamentals.
