Hi all. Can anyone point me in the right direction for some sample code or
info on Forums?

I need to write my own forum application that will sit on a SP server
connected to MySql. I'm fine with SQL but I'm completely un-educated when
it comes to writing web code. I'm fluent with VB net, and would like to use
that if possible.

Any info would be gratefully recieved.

Cheers.

You'll definitely want to read up on ASP.Net, Html, CSS, and
Javascript, because you're in for a scare. You're VB.Net experience is
probably only going to be used when a page is retrieved or a post
saved, as it will only be used server-side. For all the client side
functionality you'll need to learn a lot about html, CSS, and
javascript.

If you need a component quickly, you may want to look at licensing a
pre-built component. When you look at the cost of learning additional
languages, and the lengthy build and maintenance processes, it may
save you money in the long run.

Either way, Good Luck!

Thanks,
