Trial WINDOWS VisualStudio.NET and Windows Server 2003 - Macromedia Dreamweaver

[Jordan Marton]

Well I plan on making dynamic ASP.NET web pages in visual basic. Database
access in the such. Nothing too complex, and no windows programs or
anything. Will I be better off with web matrix?

If i were you i'd give web matrix a try - use it for a while. VS isnt cheap
and if you dont need all the features its really not worth it to get. I use
vs extensively to build server controls and i use the code behind model so
for me its a necessity.
