Visual Web Developer 2005 vs. Microsoft Expression

I am new to web design and programming and was wonder which of these
two would be better to invest my time to learn.

Visual Web Developer 2005 vs. Microsoft Expression.

I would like to make very complex and neat looking web sites. I plan I
doing a lot of reports and charts pulling data out of database.
Please let me know which way I should go. Also, what is the best code
for someone to invest time learning for complex web building?

VWD is for programming web applications using ASP.NET. Expression Web is
less oriented to programming but is very standards oriented.

If you're planning on working with databases, you'll need more than
Expression, which I believe is more for static web development and/or
fleshing out html/css for use in web applications.

You'll need to learn ASP.NET and work with Visual Web Developer Express.
It's free, and it will be more than enough to get you started.

Go for VWD - from that to visual studio is a short step. Sounds to me like
you'll end up doing more coding that cosmetics and VWD is better suited. No
reason though not to learn both tools :)

In fact, a web application may be thought of as 2 different components, one
the application process and data, and the other the user interface (HTML web
pages). VWD is tailored for application development, while Expression Web is
tailored for user interface design. I use both. And Visual Studio 2008 is
slated to ship with Expression Web as the design interface for ASP.Net web
applications. The first beta of Visual Studio 2008 is now available. You can
download it fro free at

Thank you. Could you recommend a good Web Host Service that I can
start with and supports ASP.NET?
