Help me prove to my boss there’s a better way to rapidly deploy applications!

I suck at programming; my historical training has been in Desktop Support/Server Administration, which I happen to excel at.

I’ve been tasked to convert 4 Microsoft Access Data Projects into JavaScript Web Applications. I’ve been in this new “Developer” position for about 2 years; I have completed 3 of the 4 applications.

I’m alone in a corner, miserable, and I’m coding in a vacuum. I have nobody to bounce ideas off of, or to learn from. The boss has established a framework that has existed for 20 years, and he “just wants me to do my job.”

We’re using JavaScript, MSSQL Stored Procedures, and a middle-man Web Service running Apache Tomcat. I’m almost blind as to what’s happening in the middle.

Here’s what I think I want to do: (note: we’re full-on admins and have a lot of flexibility with our platforms)

1. I need a way to absolutely minimize modifications to 20-year-old Store Procedures. I absolutely hate writing code in Store Procedures. Our code is VERY database-heavy.
2. I really wanted to learn .NET and C# instead of JavaScript
3. I want to follow the MVC framework ideology, which I have not clue how to do
4. I need a CSS ideology to follow for web applications. Bootstrap is too verbose, and too complicated. Remember, these are just forms based on old-school VBA Access Databases.
5. I want to minimize the HTML & CSS that has to be written
6. I have experience with ColdFusion. We need to keep this free, so I’m thinking about PHP. They have MVC frameworks, and supposedly connect directly to SQL.
7. I’m also thinking about ASP.NET C# web applications, but I have no clue how it talks to SQL.
8. I don’t know how to use GIT HUB to maintain DEV and PROD environments. Right now, I manually copy files to the webroot.

So, yeah, I’m more of a front-end guy.

It is so hard to maintain and deploy applications in this department; Our custom framework is old, and antiquated, and fights itself

Before I’m fired, quit, or move on, I really would like to prove to my boss there are better ways to do things:

What MVC framework to I research? Should I figure out PHP? OR, How does ASP .NET C# web apps connect to DBs? What CSS framework do I use for simple web forms?
