What do you need to set up a .net architecture and support after.

[Guest]

I am very new to .Net. I want to know exactly what you have to have to set up
a .Net development environment and production environment for web service
applications. What needs to be supported after the environments are set up.
Basically what will my Enterprise Architecture and System Admin guys have to
support. We use strictly Oracle databases and primarley Windows 2000 server
and IIS. Also for a new devloper entering the .Net area with Java and C++
experience what type of training would you recommend.

The only thing you strictly need is the .NET framework. This has to be
installed on all the machines the .NET code runs on.
The framework also contains the compilers for C# (csc.exe) and VB.NET
(vbc.exe) . This means that you can do without
an IDE, but I would invest in one since it makes coding much faster.

Since you are Java\C++ guy, use C#. You should have no problems picking up
the syntax, the biggest challenge is to get
an overview over the class libraries and what they can do. I would buy a
book in order to get an overview over where things
fit in, then use the net for more detailed articles.
