Active Server Pages for .NET (ASP.NET) enables you to create dynamic Web pages with content that can change at runtime and to develop applications that are accessed using a Web browser. For example, you could develop an e-commerce application that allows users to order products over the Web, or a stock-trading application that allows users to place trades for shares in companies.
ASP.NET is conceptually similar to its rival JavaServer Pages (JSP) in that you request a page from a server using a Web browser, and the server responds by running the ASP.NET page. The server then sends back HTML that is displayed in your browser.
In this chapter, you'll learn the basics of ASP.NET, and you'll see how to use Visual Studio .NET (VS .NET) to create ASP.NET applications using C# as the programming language. Featured in this chapter:
Creating ASP.NET Web applications
