Where to direct technical service development questions?

I am a current ASP.NET/C#/T-SQL programmer and I want to try my hand at creating a simple bitcoin-based betting site where you get to bet on certain real life events.

The problem is, I don't know what tools to use to tie Bitcoin to the web front-end. Do I use a VPS with bitcoind and a console app that sends info through a web API to my web front-end?

Anything would help, including a link to an article with a "RTFA" comment.

Man, you cannot do such things, if you don't even understand where to start.
Bitcoin is dealing with money and if you loose someone's money, because you had something broken, someone may be very angry.

But since you asked: yes, in one of a possible solutions you would need to have a running bitcoind, though VPS might not be trusted enough.
And then interface with the bitcoind, from your web app, using the RPC protocol - not a console.

I think that my implementation, API and hosted bitcoin node would give you a fast track.

Thanks for the pointer, I was actually just watching your video on bits of proof on your website.

I'll try to set up an instance myself, as it seems like a very interesting project.
