Hi! I currently program in VB 6.0. I am familiar with C & C++ just from classes I had to take in school. From what I understand, VB .NET is similiar in structure to C++ progamming. I would like to learn VB .NET but don't know that much about it. I am assuming VB .NET would allow me to convert my VB 6.0 programs to web based programs? Essentially, I am looking to be able to create web based programs that make calls and updates to an Oracle database. Would VB .NET be the way I should go, or should I look into other more powerful WEB languages?

In looking for classes, I saw one that refers to Visual Basic 2005. Is this different than VB .NET or just another name for it?

Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you for your help.
