[AccessD] Choosing web technology

Hi Mark

That person is not stupid, and this could be your chance. And remember, with your Access background you know a lot about databases which is a huge advantage as most web developers have limited knowledge in this area, some are even "scared by the database". That said, web development is much different from Access and Windows - it looks like a mess but you'll catch up.

Go and pick Visual Studio Web Express:

and browse all the free learning stuff (I found some of the videos very good getting started) and you'll be busy while having fun for at least a year.

Hello All, 
 
I have been interested in the past in moving from Access to something 'web based'...and have done a number of html and asp tutorials...but would have to say I really don't know either.  It has been recently suggested (at work) that I 'pick' something and learn it. Seems like a broad generic request to me...but it is from a non technical person. 
 
So...I guess if I wanted to create interactive/dynamic web applications...what criteria would I use to determine the appropriate language/technology? Thanks, 
 
Mark
