There's nothing preventing you from using SPT for all your development. The tutorials may use views, but there are examples using SPT.

That's good to know, although I'm sure that a project could always have a mix of a little of both SPT and views.

As for web stuff, did you know Drew is working on VMP extensions for Voodoo?

Yep, I've been reading a bit about this. Plus, Drew recently did a presentation on VMP 2002 at one of our dying user group meetings.

Although a few things concern me. I'm on a tight budget, looking to make a few investments to work on a project that I'll hopefully be able to turn around and sell or lease to clients. What I would like to avoid is getting a framework, then finding out, oh, you need to buy this too, and then you should probably get that, or whatever, in the middle of development or before ever having something to offer to customers.

Right now I'm looking at purchasing WWC because I would like the end-product to have the option of running across the Internet or an intranet. I would like it to be n-tier, not because it has to be, but because I think that it would be worthwhile to learn how to develop such a beast from the ground up. VMP 2002 is looking like the best bet for a couple of reasons. One of which is that several people in the local group in this area use it.
