Algebra Web Site

[DroopyPawn]

What Im wanting to do is create some pages on the web site at the school where I teach high school math. Specifically, I want to create some pages that allow students to play math games.

I can create Visual Basic programs to do what I want but Im new to putting apps on the web. Id like for the students to not have to download and install a program - just go to the web site and start playing.

As an educator, I can get Visual Studio .NET for about $120. Is it worth it? Will I gain anything over having just Visual Basic 6 Pro? I dont know any of the other languages that are inluded in Visual Studio.

I guess what I really need to know is this?
Which is better for programming the kind of web site Im after? VB6 or VB.NET?

perhaps ASP.net

but ull have to have it run on a ASP enabled server


but probablt if its just games


why not just do sumfing in flash or javascript.

Math games would take forever (in my opinion) for any programming language, including javascript and flash...maybe Im just lazy...

But anyways, what version is that Visual Studio .NET? If its pro then Id get it. If its academic....well Id still get it....if it was free then Id down...walk down a tree and yeah....*ahem*..

It sounds to me like using ASP.NET (with VB or C#, its your choice) would be ideal for such games.

Is Visual Studio 2003 Professional Academic. I went ahead and made the purchase. Even if I dont use it for the math stuff, Im sure Ill find something useful in there.

I dont think youll regret spending 120$ on VS.Net 2003....

Probably not. It ended up being $143 with 2 day shipping and I noticed later that I could have gotten it for $100 delivered but we live and learn.
