? Chapter 1 ASP.NET Overview
When Microsoft's .NET or Beta 1 version, it was greatly concerned by developers. As the official version is released, more and more people have begun to know and understand it. I believe that you have learned that Microsoft is spare no effort to sell it .NET strategy by network or other media.
You must be confused, "What is .NET?" We got the following explanation from Microsoft's website:
?? Microsoft® .NET is the Microsoft XML Web Services platform. XML Web Services allows applications to communicate and share data over the Internet, regardless of which operating system, device, or programming language used. The Microsoft .NET platform provides you want to create XML Web Services and integrate these services together. The benefits of individual users are seamless, attractive experience.
From this text you can see that Microsoft is a combination of various services organic to disperse in the Internet through .NET technology. No matter when you, where, what equipment is used, or what the operating system you use, what language development you can use, you can find the services you want by .NET technology. Maybe you will ask, "What is XML Web Service?" Don't worry first, this problem will find a satisfactory answer in Chapter 5, "XML Web Service" in this book.
?? Is it a very important component of the .NET framework ASP.NET brings us new content? What do we need to prepare before using this new language? What new content is there in programming ideas and development methods? These are the problems to be solved in this chapter. We will take you to fully understand the ASP.NET language, use ASP.NET as soon as possible to develop and write programs. No matter what you used to use ASP, VB, Java, or C or C , you can learn to use it quickly. ASP.NET will make your programming life more simple.

?? 1.1 What is ASP.NET
?? When you mention ASP.NET, you have to figure out what is ASP. The full name of the ASP is Active Server Pages, which is the active server page. Why is the active server page, because the previous Internet consists of a static HTML page, if you need to update your website content, you have to make a lot of HTML page. After having an ASP, we can display different content to users at different times according to different users. The content update of the website is no longer a tedious repetition process, which begins to become simple and interesting. Therefore, a boom in China has set off a learning ASP.
?? But because the ASP program and the HTML of the web page are mixed together, this makes the program look quite messy. During the current website design, it is usually developed by the program developers, and there is a professional art design page in front, so that various problems will be produced during mutual cooperation. At the same time, the ASP page is executed with scripting language interpretation, making it impact. Restrictions on scripting language itself, we have to call COM components when writing ASP programs. Due to the above limitations, Microsoft launched ASP.NET.
