What is visual web developer 2008? Is this used to construct websites as is
Expression?

Thanks in advance.

Visual Web Developer 2008 is a free, limited, subset of Visual Studio 2008.
In general terms, VWD 2008 allows you to build web sites from more of a
developer's perspective, while Expression has more of a designer's
perspective. Why not try it out? No charge :-)

Thanks. I am familiar with visual studio as I develop some software
applications. as far as web goes, I am familiar with Front page 2000, which
I have been using, but need to get away from because of the myriad of
security issues with Front page. I was unsure if I should purchase
Expression, or try to learn to use visual web developer, which seems to be
more difficult.
