Hi All,

I just want your opinion really on the for mentioned software. Will this enable me to create a website, that I will host as an intranet site only. Would this software be OK for that? I do have an intranet site already made and hosted locally but I made it on FP98 :| NHS hay?! meh.

Also will VSE enable me to create or at least provide a front end for a database? I have one in access and I'm looking to improve it and make it grow however only one person can use it at once but I need greater access to it (MySQL?).

I've been wanting to learn some programming languages but as of yet lack the time (currently studying for MCSA).

Help appreciated

You want to use it for development? Why not use XAMPP to develop it locally, Apache/MySql are in the package and you can start or stop the services whenever.

Hi thanks for the reply, is XAMPP a web developer? I haven't heard of it and other then Front Page vis studio is the only one I've heard of.

Edit: yeah I need to use it for development.

Visual Studio is perfect for what you need. Don't listen to all the PHP/Open source zealots :D

Have you had any experience with C#/VB.Net/ASP.Net before?

Hay, thanks. Erm unfortunately no, only ever written a few lines of VBA in Access 2003 for the database I got now. Would I need experience in them?
