Advice on Platform

I'm being offered a project for a pharmaceutical company to keep track of
their sales/purchases/stocks online (web/internet). I want advice about the
best development platform for this. I'm comfortable with VB6 but that alone
is not enough to develop web applications besides I want to learn VB.NET. So
what should I use? VB.NET with ASP? XML? I'll probably have SQL Server at
the backend.

What is the most efficent combination. Or can I do it with a single tool?

You can write ASP.NET in C# of VB.NET. If you know VB6, you have a lot to
learn in .NET, but at least syntax is familiar. SQL Server is certainly a
good choice and it's very easy to learn. ASP/XML/VB.NET are all
complimentary technologies not mutually exclusive ones. I use all three in
one of my apps.

Check out www.dotnetjunkies.com I think it'll help you.

Cheers,

Bill
