Want to learn or develop a small ASP.NET program, install a vs.net, a few g of a big thing, is it a bit a bit with a cow knife to dissect the feeling of ants, huh, this is a joke. In fact, there is a tool that can achieve your needs, this tool is Web Matrix.
It is not a formal development tool for Microsoft, but some people of the ASP.NET team use the spare time to complete. Its installation file is only 1.3m, but it is only 3m or so. But functions, it is not easy, you can develop ASP.NET applications, you can develop WebServices services, you can also develop mobile device programs and more. Development language can apply C #, VB.NET, J #.
Compared with VS.Net, it is completely free, this is the most tempting, after all, the current vs.net price is too expensive, if only develops ASP.NET programs, buy vs.net is too bad; it comes The web server, so you don't have to install the IIS server, you can make a debugging program; its generated file does not really hide the code, the code is embedded in the generated file; writing code, there is no vs.net Such tips, for a few M programs, have this feature is almost impossible, so you need the programmer itself to ensure the accuracy of the program.
Said so much, in short, the Web Matrix has only a lot of advantages, and there are many shortcomings. However, for learning development small ASP.NET programs, Web Matrix should be preferred.
