I think that one important aspect for you is the single-userness of a WinForms app and the multi-user-sessionness of web.
It seems like you should try to look for away to simply reuse your simple WinForms code over ASP.NET infrastructure. This means that you will probably will not need to re-write the UI code but just use it as-is on some emulative infrastructure of WinForms over web.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
