Re: [OT] : Developing applications for use over the web

Looking at the information you posted i'd say theres no question
that you should be looking at ASP.NET.  It has huge potential for
what you want todo.  If you're worried about the high startup costs
microsoft have a programme called "Empower"
(http://www.microsoft.com/uk/partner/partnering/isv/empower/default.a
spx) that gives you a lot of licenses for very little money.

Visual Studio.NET 2003 is a very fast RAD environment, depending
which way you want to code you really have two choices vb.net or
c#.  I'd recommend vb.net as its faster to program in and these days
it makes little difference what language its wrote in as its
compiled by the same engines.

Your best bet would be take a look at http://www.asp.net they have
quite a lot of examples and starting points.  Under the controls
section there is a lot of controls out there that are really cheap
that implement a lot of schedule type systems to save you writing
the whole thing from scratch.

Hope that helps =)

Kind Regards,
Chris Bond
