Need help on how to dive right into asp.net 3.5 express edition andcreate app

[Homer]

Hi,

I've dabbled in vb.net programming using vb.net 2005 a few years ago -
windows apps. I had since changed job but I'm being pulled back into
programming again. This time, I have to create a web app for users to
log their test scripts as they go into testing a new third-party
enterprise system. The system should allow them to select from known
values as well as to free form test script objectives, log test
results from iteration to iteration. I know it's very general but can
you give me pointer on how to start? I want to know if there are VWD
2008 starter kits that I can use right off the bat instead of creating
my own master page, css file, etc. Also, can I use the SQL Server
Express edition to develop and to deploy or do I need the full version
to deploy? I think i can create the database using SQL Server Express
Edition but the web server must have SQL Server install. Is that
correct? Please help.

Thanks,
Jonathan

Try the Jobs Site Starter Kit :

The nopCommerce shopping cart is good, too :

There's several ASP.NET 3.5 articles and resource centers referenced here :
