Starting Web Application
-
I have an application built in VB6. Want to move it to the web. The app will be interactive, allowing user to store data. The database update is being built using VB.NET and Firebird SQL. My skills: VB6, VB.NET learning PHP, HTML, CSS3 20+ years of programming What would be the best solution to get a web interface built with my skills?

I'd suggest you learn MVC http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd381412(v=vs.108).aspx[^] and start using C#. It isn't hard to go from VB.Net to C# and nearly all examples you find online these days are written in C#.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

If you have VB and VB.NET experience then the simple answer would be to build a web application using ASP.NET. The next question would be on whether you should build it using web forms or MVC. For simple applications then web forms is ideal. For more complex applications then you could consider MVC. It really depends on what the needs of the application are, and finding the right balance between those and your skill set.

Well, if you already know VB.NET Then you can use it for your web development. Of course, this implies that you have access to Windows Server that is able to run IIS. Using VB.NET + ASP.NET to create a website, is I think the shortest way for you to have a working website :) Otherwise, as you said that you are learning PHP...maybe you could use this language to build your website. The interest, is that finding inexpensive hosting opportunities running PHP is easier than for IIS/.NET.
