.Net is several things: first and lowest, it's the .Net framework, a huge collection of classes that form a language-independent framework atop which the various .Net languages sit. Once you have installed the framework and its SDK, technically all you need is an editor to begin writing .Net apps. Notepad will do. However, more realistically, you'd want some fancy GUI editor that lets you drag and drop and writes code from your actions. Such editors include Visual Basic.Net, Visual C#.Net, ASP.Net and Dreamweaver, with others on the way from Borland. Visual Studio.Net includes both ASP.Net, VB.Net and C#.Net -- the latter two are available separately and are quite cheap. Personally, I disagree with Susan. I think that you should begin learning .Net as soon as you can. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John W.
