Your First Project


The next, natural step is to create your first project. Doing so will quickly expose you to some of the basic project and file management features within the IDE. From the File menu, you're given the option to create a new project or website. The two are fundamentally not very different in terms of your first project. Projects are simply templates for windows, Office, mobile, and similar executable applications, whereas a website combines server-side code and markup language to send HTML to a browser.

Figure 2.8 shows a sample website inside the IDE. We chose C# as the target language of this website. Notice that the layout is relatively generic. You should expect a similar experience for your first few applications (until you've customized things). In the following sections, we will break down the many items on this screen; it might be useful to refer to this graphic to provide overall context as we discuss a given item.
