Website Development

Jonathan Wood

Greetings,

I have extensive programming experience (nearly 20 years) but have yet to
write a full-blown Web application. In fact, I have done hardly any
server/client/database programming at all. I now have a client that would
like me to write a Web-based version of their existing software.

Since I've worked mostly with Microsoft products, I had assumed .NET would
be the platform to use. But now I'm not so sure and am looking for advice.
The software must allow users to log in to access their information and
enter new information. In addition, certain users will need the ability to
log in and modify certain content, including the data to be entered by the
other users. Most likely, the application will need to accept payment
information as well.

I am looking for folks who have developed this type of software. What are
some of the pros and cons of the various platforms and languages for writing
this type of software? In addition, I expect to need one or two people to
help me develop this application. So if you have the expertise and
availability, please email me with details.

Thanks for any comments!

For client-side interactions, I suggest you to write in javascript since
it's supported by widest range of browsers.

For server side, I think any of the server-side languages will be able to do
what you want. So the decision is left on where you want it to run at(IIS or
Apache or whatever) and which language you think you're more comfortable
with.

Hi Jonathan,

I'd also like to recommend the ASP.NET as your prefered choice. ASP.NET
provide powerful runtime services based on the .net framework fundamental
and together with lots of well defined WebServer control and programming
model which greatly ease our data driven web application developing.
Also,is the web application an public internet application or intranet
application? For application's authentication/athorization, ASP.NET have
also provided support for both scenarios, for intranet application, it can
utilize the windows domain security schema so as to authentication client
users through AD. For internet scenario, we can consider use the Forms
Based authentication which is much more flexible.

BTW, the .NET 2.0/VS.NET 2005 has just released and the ASP.NET 2.0
increasingly become more and more powerful and make our development
tremendously easy. Try getting more info from the following sites:

Hope helps. Thanks,

I am aware that ASP.NET is able to do the task. I was just hoping to hear
some pros and cons of the various available solutions. I do appreciate the
specifics within your comments.

This would be an Internet application (not intranet).

My long term as an MVP just ended but I'm hoping my copy of VS 2005 will
arrive before my MSDN subscription expires.

Thanks!
