>>It's not pricey compared to what it offers. Express version is for free, Pro, enterprise and BOS have different price levels. If you think you'd deploy a BOS solution to a big company (enterprise level) it'd pay much more of its price in first application you sell:) At least get express and contact the representatives. You'd be amazed with support and professionalizm, getting that much help though you only have express etc.

>I actually went through a whole bunch of step-by-step videos (which are very good), bought the Professional version (and got 4 days of free training to boot), so this is the direction I am headed. I still use the other two frameworks on apps where they are strong, but I see Devforce as becoming my main .NET development system. Strataframe's database generation, deployment and update facilities are better than anything else I've seen (in .NET, that is -- SDT in VFP is still heads and shoulders above anything I've seen in any environment). MM.NET has a strong ASP.NET feature AND documentation set and patterns -based philosophy. So, there is no one silver bullet... What is amazing to me, though, how little Strataframe and Devforce talk about ASP.NET apps, which is the main reason I'm using .NET to begin with.

Yes, you have the word better than I thought "Fortune N":)
For ASP.Net they have a cool sample (if you missed it is number 314 in 300 series in installed tutorials - was added after 3.5.1 release I think). The reason it didn't exist before, I think, (like me) they think the future is not in ASP.net apps (which really doesn't fit into enterprise applications) but smart client, silverlight, WCF,WPF,XBAP etc:)
