Re: "ASP.net Why?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Thank you Mark Fitzpatrick:

for the recommendation. I'm going to paste from my previous response to
Eliyahu:

Ok. So when I build a web app with VS it is using ASP.net, sort of like
ADO.net is the database part of the framework.

Is this correct: I will use the Expression Web Developer to build the site,
and use VS to build applications hosted on the web server that will be used
in the website?

If that is true, then I learn ASP.net to be able to integrate the
application into the website?

Thank you,

Dennis,
ASP.Net and Web forms go hand in hand. ASP.Net itself just
represents a portion of .Net Framework technologies that provide dynamic
content to a web server. XHTML and HTML are simply ways of formatting
information in a standardazed way to be read by a compatible browser so
they aren't necessarily a language. ASP.Net controls provide some level of
dynamic content, which in turn is rendered as HTML or XHTML (or whatever
you really need to do. So, ASP.Net will not replace XHTML as they are
basically apples and oranges. ASP.Net will emit XHTML. ASP.Net will be
what you use to generate any sort of web page that does some sort of
activity, from generate text, create a list of items from a database,
create a dynamic graph on the fly, etc..

In addition to ASP.Net unleashed, I like Pro ASP.Net by APress
(though this is a better later on book) and many of the Wrox press books
on the subject.

Hope this helps,

Hello:

So far I am into XML, XHTML, JavaScript, VB.net, and the .Net Framework.
I have the ability to use SQL server, MS Access, or XML as databases, and
1.1 and 2.0 are installed on the server.

Before I go off attempting to learn how to build e-commerce websites,
please tell me why I should learn ASP.net 2.0. How is ASP.net going to
fit into this picture? Will it replace XHTML pages, for example? I was
thinking that the Framework and VB.net already include web form and data
classes.

I am right on the verge of adding this language simply because it seems
popular to do so. Would someone recommend a set of books that will get me
through the first few websites?

Thank you,
