    Develop Your First ASP.NET Website with Visual Web Developer Express


    (Page 1 of 4 )

    This article focuses on the objective of running your first ASP.NET website on your Windows XP Home computer using Visual Web Developer Express. If you still do not have IIS/ASP.NET installed in your computer (which XP Home does not have by default), no worries. The complete installation of Visual Web Developer Express will do everything for you.

    It will even provide the following vital tools:

    • ASP.NET/Visual Basic Script/HTML editor. 
    • A local ASP.NET web server.

    ASP.NET is a web programming platform owned by Microsoft. It is used for doing server side scripting just like PHP, the most popular server side scripting language.

    There are a lot of reasons to work with the ASP.NET platform. It all depends on the expectations you have set for your personal/commercial website project. Some IT professionals on the web have already pointed out some reasons why you may want to work with an ASP.NET platform. According to Sitepoint, you gain the following advantages:

    • Speed. When you are talking about "speed," you can run websites faster in ASP.NET as compared to PHP. There are a lot of scientific tests that support this.  
    • More language support. Unlike PHP, where only one language is involved, you use several languages of your choice (such as VB.NET, C#, etc) when developing an ASP.NET websites. 
    • A user-friendly development environment. In ASP.NET, the editors that you will be using are provided by Microsoft and can provide very powerful help for writing, editing and debugging scripts. Plus, it is included for FREE. An example of this is the Visual Web Developer Express. 
    • Expanding your development skills in a Windows .NET environment. If you know how to develop ASP.NET websites, bear in mind that this is only aspect of .NET's applications. In this case, it would be very easy for you to develop other Windows applications that depend on .NET (not only ASP.NET). This makes you a versatile Windows technology based developer. 
    • ASP.NET is cheap to develop. This means that the code editor, local practice Web server, and FTP client are provided for free in ONE INSTALLATION PACKAGE.

    Okay, let's start developing your first ASP.NET website.
