29 Oct 09 Effective web development using ASP NET programming. Find out how

ASP net programming is a web application developed by Microsoft.  It is a powerful web application that allows programmers to build dynamic websites, web services and web applications.

There are two important things to note about ASP.  It is not a programming language, but a technology that allows a web application development .  The action involved in this technology takes place on the server and not the personal computer.  When on a server, it can interpret different programming languages including JavaScript, PerlScript and VBScript.  It is also possible to mix these languages on the same ASP web page framework in order to obtain better results.

In order to get started with it, you need a web server and a .NET framework.  Make sure the web server supports the .NET framework.  It can wither be Microsoft IIS (Internet Information Services) or an Apache 2 with mod_aspdotnet in it.  Once the web server has bee set up,  you need to consider the text editor you would use.  Notepad on Windows or Emacs on Linux are good editor choices.  Of late, Notepad ++ has been used extensively since it has enhanced features like syntax highlighting, enables FTP and an integrated word count function as well.

Here is the series of steps in creating a simple ASP.NET web page:

• Choose and define the language you want to use on the framework.  Typically it is C# or VB.
• Next, create a HTML form.
• Ping this form to the server you want to use.
• Any processing on the server should be carried out.

Return the necessary results to the client according to their requirements.
