Which is the best approach? Where do I start ?

Hi Guys.

I have been working with the Core Navision Product for 9 years, but only with the core product

, so I know it inside out.

But I need to move my skills on, there is a need for this now, as I have fallen well behind, looking towards NAS, Portals etc:?, communicating from a web site both ways. :oops:

I only have a local PC at home, so what can I achive with the Localhost environment? :?
I have Visual Studio 2005 Express, MS SQL 2005 Express and Visual Web Developer, so I can set up a basic site with a MS SQL database, then I need to push and pull the data from Navision.

I need a starting point, a bit of pointing in the right direction!

Anyone? [-o<

BTW: Visual Studio 2005 Express, MS SQL 2005 Express and Visual Web Developer, are all free for life from Microsoft if anyone else like me needs a jumpstart to look at them here is the link:http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/ and there are lots of downloadable sites, tutorials and help from http://www.asp.net/
I downloaded a commerce site and it was running in 5 minutes! and this is the one I want to play with pushing Cronus UK data into its database.

Have you read this?

Googling "QuickStart .net" leads to this useful site:

For a basic .NET programming example, you might try writing a tool that shows directories in a tree showing the gross size of each of the including subdirs, thus helping to find what is using up the most space on the HDD.

I tried this, suffered for five hours, all those stuff bitten me that does not arise with Navision programming (f.e. integer division silently chopped off the remainder), then finally I heeded my friends advice who said I had to listen at school when they taught that one should represent a tree of objects by each object referencing their children, and not their parent, or it will be a hell to parse it - and with that I could finish it. Whew. It seems general purpose programming is a lot harder than business logic programming.

So I suggest this practice for learning .NET

Which is the best approach? Where do I start ?
