Re: Opinions on "good news/bad news"... picking Websphere orMS .ASP or .NET

You might be making a mistake there if you postpone going to asp.net. Visual studio and asp.net, while fine examples of bloat, do make coding extremely easy. Visual Studio even builds connection strings for you in the IDE. The server side controls are very slick, and you can implement your application just by copying the directory to the production server. You can even debug web apps in development, just as easily as a Win app in the old VB debugger. Don't get excited if you don't understand exactly what all of the project files are for. I think (hope) that comes with experience. Dependencies are more manageable than the old VB setup.exe process used to be, the process doesn't seem to break much. MS really did put a lot of effort into making the IDE intuitive, and IMHO, they've succeeded. Look at the SOAP support if you need to be convinced. It's well worth the pain if you're stuck with an IIS middle tier.
