Hi there,

I'm at the point where I need to start getting into web development, kind of late but it's time. The problem is that I need to map out a direction in terms of tools to use, I can go with microsoft ASP.NET, more familiar, supposedly easier to create apps, widely used but of course tied in to Microsoft fees, on the other side you have open source, less costs but more difficult to code supposedly.

What are your thoughts, recommendations?

Thanks!
