What I'm 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 I'm new to putting apps on the web. I'd 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 don't 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 I'm 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 I'm just lazy...

But anyways, what version is that Visual Studio .NET? If it's pro then I'd get it. If it's academic....well I'd still get it....if it was free then I'd down...walk down a tree and yeah....*ahem*..
 
It sounds to me like using ASP.NET (with VB or C#, it's your choice) would be ideal for such games.
 
Is Visual Studio 2003 Professional Academic. I went ahead and made the purchase. Even if I don't use it for the math stuff, I'm sure I'll find something useful in there.
 
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.
