As a beginner programmer, learning to write in Visual Basic .NET for the time being, does anyone have an input as to how long a project like a blogger would take to write? Or even if VB.NET is a good language to write one in?

I realize that there are already some really nice & free blogging utilities out right now, but I believe that building one myself would be a tremendous learning opportunity and loads of fun!

I would recommend PHP or CGI+PERL for web based applications. You mostly see PHP based blogging scripts around the net. Good luck!

Veritas is right, using PHP and mySQL together is your best bet for programming most web apps.

PHP and MySQL were made for each other. Like bread and butter. I love coding PHP/MySQL.
