Exercise: Creating a Web Photo Album

To the end user, the Web appears as a series of documents that contain all types of content. The Web is so easy to use, even the most novice computer user can search for information, go shopping, or participate in discussion groups by accessing Web pages. As an application developer, you may wonder what sort of intelligence exists on the other end to generate the resulting pages. For example, how does that online music store process orders submitted from its Web pages? How does the shipping company display the location of your package? The answer is that some type of program is running on the Web server, accepting input from the end user and dynamically generating Web pages. This chapter introduces you to Active Server Pages.NET, a component of the .NET framework that allows developers to create Web sites with dynamic, code-driven content.

In this chapter you will learn how to use ASP.NET to build Web sites. However, before we dive in to the many facets of ASP.NET development, some understanding of basic Web technology is required. To appreciate the full benefit of ASP.NET, you should first be familiar with the underlying architecture of the Web, as well as with its universal language, HTML. In addition, you will need to get a Web server machine prepared to test the samples discussed throughout this chapter. Therefore, the first section in this chapter is a quick primer on Web basics. To begin, we'll create a new directory on the Web server and set up some sample pages. You will learn how to create simple Web pages using a text editor or the Visual Studio HTML editor. In doing so we will lay the groundwork for your understanding of ASP.NET.
