[AccessD] Choosing web technology

I concur. The development enviorment has a lot of drop and drag controls that are useful to application developers. The 2008 version has some AJAX controls that do cool things as well.






May God bless you beyond your imagination!

I would skip classic ASP and go directly to ASP.NET. If you already have VB
or VBA programming experience, you can easily adapt to VB.NET.

I am self taught in pretty much everything, including the web stuff I got
into.  My personal recommendation is to start with HTML and ASP, to learn
and understand how web apps work.  Of course, this would almost be like
telling someone to learn Machine language if they wanted to learn to
program.

The difference is that web applications are a different beast from normal
Window's apps.  It's a client/server situation, that has it's own quirks.

Once you are familiar with HTML and ASP, when you go to something like
ASP.NET, you do so with the understanding that ASP.NET is using Javascript
and server side stuff  to simulate a 'real time' environment, even though
such an environment really doesn't exist in the HTML world of the web.

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
