to build effective and attractive database driven websites you need two things: a solid and fast framework to run your web pages on and a rich and extensive environment to create and program those web pages. with asp.net 4.5 and visual studio you get both. together they form the platform to create dynamic and interactive websites. if you're familiar with earlier versions of asp.net you'll be happy to find many small gems in the new version of the framework that will make your life as a developer easier. I mention and discuss these new features throught this book where appropriate. for a complete list of all new features in asp.net check out the following white paper at the official asp.net website: http://www.asp.net /vnext/overview/whitepapers/whats-new if this link no longer works by the time you read this book search ww.asp.net for "What's new in asp.net 4.5" no matter how you install VSEWits important that you also install Microsoft sql express localDB...

static files like html files or images the web server simply reads the file from its local hard drive and sends it to the browser. however for dynamic files such as aspx pages this is obviously not good enough. if the web server were to send the aspx file directly to the browser as a text file you wouldn't have seen the current date and time in the browser but instead you would haveseen the actual code (<%:DateTime.Now.ToString() %>). So, instead of sending the file directly the web server hands over the request to another piece of software that is able to process the page. this is done with a concept called application mapping or handler mapping where an extension of a file (.aspx in this example) is mapped to an application that is capable of handling it. In the case of an .aspx page the request is eventually handled and processed by the asp.net run time, part of the Microsoft .net framework designed specifically to handle web requests
