Seems silly to pick an dev environment when you haven't built a proof of concept. Build that in the something to can rapid prototype and then refine the process. Software construction is about refining the application into something useful... Code purists will tell you some BS about this framework or that one, but all the crap that is out there today will be gone in 3 years and something else will be en vogue. Get the app up, test the crap out of it and then see if anyone wants to use it... if so, tear it apart and rebuild it... eBay was built on isapi.dll calls and that was a POS and it ran like that for 15 years... Build, test, refine... That's what a coder does. Build
