Re: .Net (Was: Re: suggestions please)

Very good question.

You are right, we don't know the feasability.  We do
quite a bit of web development in our company, both in
house and for our customers.  In this case, we're
using the Intranet project as a sort of test in
feasability.  This way, we can get a handle on the
architecture and determine its abilities without
affecting our customers.  If it doesn't work - we have
plenty of good ol' ASP knowledge to fall back on.

In fact, at the rate MS goes - we'll probably  have it
built in ASP technology before ASP.Net even comes out!
:-)

As for the Java controversy - I can probably argue
both sides of the fence.  I actually preferred doing
this project in Java (JSP, servlets etc), but my
company's primary focus is MS technologies - so that's
where their strength is.  Since I wanted to build a
site that is as easy as possible to maintain,
realizing that I'm no expecting to stay at my current
position long, I wanted to make sure it isn't a
technology that only I and one other person has
expertise in.  

Anyhow, that was our thinking...
