I am very new to development and I am trying to develop a fairly complex program. It must be nTier and have both a WinForm and WebForm UI. Both the WinForm and WebForm interface will be accessible over the internet. So here's my question. Where can I go to get some general information on having WinForms access data over the internet. I have a book called "Designing Enterprise Applications with Microsoft Visual Basic .Net" It says I can use remoting, but that it's really only made for intranet network communication. Can I use an xml webservice to transmit this data to a winform over the net? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does your employer know that you have no experience in this area? I don't
want to sound mean, but if you are a newbie developer and you know you are
over your head, then you need to go to your boss and tell him/her that you
can't complete the project with your limited experience. It is only fair to
disclose your limitations to your employer. Don't use there money and time
as a learning tool unless they openly agree to it.

All ethics aside, I would suggest you look at the "Patterns & Practices"
section of MSDN, the book "Design Patterns" or any other pattern-based
design papers you can find on-line. These will help you immensely.

the net.

Sounds Great, and ambitious that you are willing to learn and undertake a
project such as this. If I was in your shoes I would do the following.



I. Layout the Database, Servers and how everything should
look, do what you understand, gather requirements, create mockups and
clearly define what needs to be done, set goals and a estimate of when the
pieces need to be completed by.



II. Buy some beginner and Intermediate books of the subjects
and what you want to do.



III. Go to Site like elance.com, post your project will clear
specifications usually this will be the first piece you would like to
complete.





For the Time and effort involved you can find someone overseas for about
$5/hr they won't be able to help you with your business requirements, but
once you have a understanding of what needs to be done at a program level,
you should be able to find someone who has many years of experience and you
can learn from them cheaper if you took a class with 15 people in it.



Good Luck
