Web Development with .NET and Related Technologies
I recently received a request to talk about web development. While preparing for the presentation I realized that the topic of web development was much bigger than it appeared. True, web development with Microsoft .NET may be synonymous to ASP.NET programming - creating web pages with code behild files and css files, user controls, server controls, XML web services, web parts, AJAX based controls, and data communications. For some web development may simply mean migrating existing static html or asp or ASP.NET 1.0/1.1 applications to ASP.NET 2.0 and higher, or write mobility applications. With the release of the .NET Framework 3.5 (beta 2.0 on 07/27/2007) and Visual Studio .NET 2008, web development may mean using Language Integrated Query (LINQ) to write code to access several types of SQL data, collections, XML, and DataSets in applications, and building WCF services including AJAX, JSON, REST, POX, RSS, ATOM, and several new WS-* standards. With the release of Silverlight 1.0 (RC) and 1.1 (alpha) and Expression, web development may be associated with creating rich interactive applications (RIAs) by integrating audio and video media contents into web applications.
While technologies that support web development with .NET continue to evolve, it is not so difficult to write your first .NET web application, particularly if you use the development tools such as Microsoft Visual Studio Express (free download with limited functions) or Microsoft Visual Studio .NET. There are learning and support resources available on the Internet that you can take advantage of. Below is a list of some of such resources.
