Semi retiring from crap contracting at end of this week to concentrate on my and my wife's businesses.
Want to update current products e.g.Animals UK and write new. I don't need great computing speed (most delay is opening large images which I geuss is pretty langage independent) but I want something that makes it fairly easy to provide attractive progs with text, lots of graphics and some simple animation for primary children, plus max integration with the web. Currently it is in VB6 with additional material in HTML/jscript in a webbrowser that also independently runs in IE, eg these . (Only work in IE currently)
Question is what to get? Am told VB.net and C#.net are virtually indistinguishable not just in object use but in syntax. Also are there any major advantages in the pro edition of Visual Studio over standard? On http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/aa700921.aspx I can't see anything important missing from the standard edition that seem relevant apart from simplified "menus and defaults". I dont need SQL server, XSL or remote debugging.
Grateful for any suggestions.
