Thanks ...
Though I have written a lot of code in .net, I am still feel as a newbie.
I didn't know that I can use both Flash & Web-Logic, or both flash and Java
Applets.

What did you mean of Java Webstart ? Is it some of java free tools ?

In my program, I should use Flash and not Java Applets (you stated that Java
Applets are not really good/evil ... - did you really mean that Java applet
is not good, or I missunderstood your English ?).
I think that web-logic is quite expensive, and well, I don't know it's
benefites againts IIS, but still, I think wheter I use JSP or ASPX, and
because I am knowing .net better the JSP (well, it was easier to learn
.NET), I would preffer IIS, since there isn't any other services except IIS
for .net technology.

In bottom line : I should use Flash, and .NET technology - Am I right ?

Right now I am using notepad for writing (and, believe me - I have written a
lot), but still debugging is very difficult task - Is Visual Studio .NET is
good enough to debug all of web-based scripts (.NET - like aspx, asmx, css,
html, and any script I could imagine), and good enough for supporting
scripts in language different than English (like Hebrew) ?
I would like to feel what VS.NET is look like, and what benefites it has,
please.

Thanks :)
