I am an Autocad drafter by trade but I love programming. Started out with VBA/VB6 customizing Cad and Office about 4 years ago. I've tried VB.Net and it frustrates me tremendously! Right now I'm really interested in web applications.

Thanks for the Welcome guys! I like this forum already!

Jordan, to answer your question:

I have no idea! I know some html and have been using visual web developer. I know how to incorporate scripts but can't create one. I have a few things in mind:
1. I would like to develop a program that pulls information from a local database and an online database.
2. I am also interested in developing a completely online application.

Any suggestions on where I should start? I would like to do it as cheap as possible during the learning process.

Thanks

You should choose a server side language like ASP, PHP, Perl or Ruby. Most of the knowledge on this forum (between the four) is for PHP although we do have a local expert in ASP (WingedPanther).

If you're gonna write desktop applications, then Microsoft SQL Server might be a good idea, or ADO.NET. For the web, it's definitely MySQL, although for a challenge you could give XML a spin. For an online application, AJAX would be your best bet.
