You really should learn to visit the Microsoft web site and input a search,
which would have given you:

http://www.microsoft.com/net/

See here what .NET is about: http://www.gotdotnet.com/ Since you didn't know, you can safely say that you can't do it. At least not now, it will take some learning first.

Hi Pam,
..net is a server side technology (took over from ASP) and would be used for
database driven sites and the like. I'm guessing as you havent heard the
term this isn't the type of site you develop?

The client probably heard the term somewhere (it's kind of a buzzword) and
thought it was a good question to ask - without really understanding what
it means. I'd say something like, "yes of course, what exactly did you have
in mind" or ask why he feels he'd need .net technology in the future. In
principle any site could be converted to .net - it's just a programming
language.If a client asks a question about something you don't understand
ask him a question back and try to get an understanding of how technical he
is and why he's asking - odds are good in this case he doesn't know and he
just wants you to tell him yes. If he really does know what it means and has
a good idea of why he might need .net he must have some plans which should
mean some useful future business for you.

Why thank you so much Jon for taking the time to go through that - I was
also doing a search for info on it - and with your excellent explanation -
and good advise - am putting it together - doesn't really sound all that
complicated - just will take me some time to piece it all together. And
you're right, I don't think he knows what he's talking about either :) ...
since my hosting service is not a windows server, it probably won't work for
me anyway - but that's ok, if he does eventually need it, we can go to a
windows server.

again...thanks! And your advise on coming back to the customer, is exactly
what I was going to do :)...when in doubt... fake it till you can find an
answer - and I knew you guys would come through!
