ASP.NET Basics (part 1): Nothing But .Net - Linking Out (Page 7 of 8 )
And that's about it for the moment. In this introductory article, I gave you a quick overview of all the popular server-side scripting technologies, followed by a quick introduction to Microsoft's .NET vision. I also explained the basic components of the .NET architecture, and the process of installation and configuration of the .NET SDK.
Here are a few links for more information on .NET:

Next up, some code: the first example offered a quick understanding of the anatomy of an ASP.NET script. This was followed by the introduction of ASP.NET server controls, a useful feature introduced by Microsoft to help developers separate the presentation layer and the business logic of an ASP.NET program. And finally an introduction to variables in C#, with a fast example of string concatenation.
Of course, there is a lot more to variables than simple strings - C# has all the datatypes befitting a full-fledged programming language, and I shall tell you more about these in the next part of this series. Until then, have fun, and I'll see you soon.
