Re: Frontpage or ASP.Net?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Thanks Clinton.

Actually, I already know how to use C#. I am not going to say that I am an
expert but I have a pretty good understanding of it. My problem is that all
my development has been done for Windows apps and very little, and I mean
VERY little using ASP.Net.

Anyway, I developed a website using a program called Namo but its very
frustrating to use and keeps screwing up my format so I thought I would use
Front Page thinking that the learning curve would be very low and I could
get on with it right away rather than having to spend a couple of weeks
learning the intricacies of ASP.Net.

I always thought of ASP.Net as a tool that I would use if I was making
things such as designing my own bulleting-board web software, a blogger type
of software etc. I don't usually think of ASP.Net for a regular site such as
the www.starbucks.com for example.

That's why I wanted to inquire a little more about Front Page and its
capabilities.

Thanks.
