FP vs Dreamweaver

[Kevin Spencer]

If I were you, I'd just go with C# at this point.

As a person who is fluent in both VB and C#, I must agree. Particularly with
regards to .Net programming, VB is entirely too forgiving, and allows a
developer to make too many mistakes that end up showing up in bits and
pieces over the lifetime of an application. It has been proposed that VB is
easier to read, but that is not truly the case. Work with any programming
language long enough and it becomes quite easily readable.

There are things you can do in C# with unsafe code that cannot be done in
VB.NET. That's one reason to learn C#, but the best reason is that most of
the code samples you see are going to be in C#. You'll be better off
learning it as Kevin and I have said.

I also think that C# is a more elegant language than VB.NET. For me, it's
easier to read than VB.NET which just seems too verbose to me.

FrontPage add-ins for FrontPage 2000 - 2003

Yep...try both.

I used to use both about the same amount. DW had a much steeper learning
curve so I ended up using FP more often.
