Help with next step in designing website..

[IamDavid]

Before I posted about creating a simple internal website and received some help which I greatly appreciated. Now I need some more advice since everything went over so well the last time.

First I created a simple site that linked to multiple sites just by simple linking. That works good for the small amount of info I was dealing with.. Here's what I need,
-A central site to access data out of a database and display it in specified tables/frames.
-User access by logging in
-Based on User loggin different data will be displayed..

Where should I start?

BTW: I'm now completely addicted to this stuff but have little to no time to actually learn it.

Thanks for any help!

I would say ASP.NET and VB.NET would be the easiest solution.

Is this for a company?

Using PHP would just be as easy

Ruby rails easier than both

Good question. It's somewhat compatible with SQL. I can run queries from excels quere app. And using SQL 2005 i can access it but not 2008, so the administrator told me.. He has NO time to help me all. Takes a couple weeks for him to answer my emails.

This is for a company, not for external public access.

Thanks for the suggestions. Keep them coming!

Can anyone explain what Cold Fusion is? In retard terms.

No. Don't reinvent the wheel, go get yourself a free Content Management System (CMS) like Drupal, Joomla, dotNetNuke or one of the many others out there. Save yourself the time and headaches.

And please, please, for the love of all that is good please don't write your web applications in PHP

I agree with the earlier part. Don't re-invent the wheel, especially if you don't require it. But why not PHP? Any bad experiences GodlessAstronomer ?

And speaking of PHP I would suggest,
DaDaBIK

I got it working for a mySQL server. I hear now they have other databases connected & running as well.

Coldfusion is adobe's server side scripting language. Like PHP & ASP.

Drupal and Joomla are PHP. Why don't you like PHP?

I don't see a CMS working very well at converting data in a database to viewable web form.

From what I've seen of Ruby on Rails, it's perfect for this (and not a whole lot else ).
