I have installed WebMatrix to my computer, and started to learn how to create Website. Yeah, I am new to the Web development. However, I am a bit confused about how to create a webpage in WebMatrix.
While developing user interface to my Java application, I use visual builder and put containers where I like to put, and then implement functionality that it uses.
Do I have chance to visually develop web page like I did for Java application? I prefer to visually design webpage, and then implement functionality of each parts. Do I need to install other tools, if yes what?
(I am trying to develop web page for my personal github page. I plan to publish blog post about projects I have. )
You can't do that with WebMatrix. It only allows you to edit text files in your server.
I would suggest learning to code HTML. It is not that hard.

A friend of mine want me to help him develop a website and admin interface to it.
The admin interface is to help him be able to write plain text that get updated on his website.
Please How do I go about this.
It’s my first time doing such
I’m trained in Vue.js, MYSQL & basics of Node.js
The question is not very specific. What you are essentially talking about is a content management system.
If i were you, i would build the frontend with Vue and then use a headless CMS like Strapi for the database and admin interface! Strapi has an API your vue-site can consume to showcase the content.
I want to build a custom PURE HTML5 Web Template, for HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript single page application development, and then use that as a starting place for SPA HTML5 web development.
Microsoft clearly recommends using Web Applications, but provides NO pure HTML5 web application template, thus this task is left to end users.
I am not asking if I should use an ASP.NET Web Site or ASP.NET Web Application instead I am asking, what template configuration can I arrange that will let me use the most modern HTML5 tools and workflows, and is it the Web Application (with .csproj or .xproj project file) or Web Site project (a folder based project)?
For projects where a developer needs to build a pure HTML5 SPA, maybe with ExtJS or maybe with Angular, or something equivalent, the first choice made is between File-> New Web Site and File -> New Web Application.
If it may be that later my HTML5 project may get some ASP.NET added later, it is clear I should choose File -> New Web application, but there is NO HTML5 template provided, so I am looking to build my own Template and use that. But what should it be based on?
For the WebSite option, you click file New Web Site, and you get a folder-based project, but none of the new grunt/bower support.
I am looking for a way to get the best of both choices. Can I get grunt/bower support if I click File New WebSite? Or can I do pure HTML5 work somehow if I click File New Project?
It is possible to crib a pure HTML5 Web Development .csproj + .sln project together myself, starting with some examples that used to be on codeplex and are now on GitHub
It seems to me that the benefits of a .csproj or .xproj based root for pure HTML5 development are:
I can specify only the files I want to see in my project explorer.
I can easily add ASP.NET webapi controllers to my "pure" project without rebuilding the project.
Can I use one of the ASP.NET 5 (DNX) Web Application templates (.xproj), and just delete all the C# stuff, to get a working pure HTML5 development template, and retain all the new javascript grunt/bower tooling? Or do I have to stick with Web Site (folder level) projects, and their visual studio 2005 era website development features, for pure HTML5 html/css/javascript development?
Update: If close voters who voted "opinion" based would be so kind enough as to point out where I call for any opinion, that'd be great. I'm asking for help DEVELOPING a template for Visual Studio, and I believe that is on topic and not at all a call for opinion. To develop a template you must make a choice. Which one will provide the most complete HTML5 tooling including grunt and bower and full javascript syntax highlighting, jslint, bundle, minify, etc?
When developing a template, my research so far shows that:
Patience, grasshopper, it's early days. ASP.NET Core 1.0 just released, but does not include certain elements, including a new .xproj style set of projects for basic pure HTML 5 web project development (name not yet even announced, but let's hypothesize, it might be called Core Pages), whatever it is, the Microsoft "franchise reboot" for Pure HTML5 Development with Microsoft Visual studio either doesn't exist yet, or is in early stages of internal development. Whatever template I could make today might be obsolete in three weeks or three months if Microsoft makes a move here.
For now, for people who can live with it, File -> New Web sites works fine, and I haven't found any technical documented reason why you CAN'T use it for new development, just a caution from Microsoft that it might not be the best choice, if a File -> New Project template can meet your needs. You can see from the way that ASP.NET Core 1.0 today works (just in time automatic-recompile without rebuilding in ASP.NET Core brings a core feature of the WebSite world over into the WebApp world at last) that its new tooling and the new .NET Core features inside dnx and dnvm will finally "restore the Balance of Nature" that I feel has now been divided over the last 10 years by the WebSite/WebApp dichotomy. Not yet, but that's part of the core design elements I have understood from studying the ASP.NET Core architecture.
For ExtJS, the Sencha Ext JS plugin for Visual Studio provides a File -> New Web Site option, and this works fine. I downloaded and tested it yesterday evening and it works fine. If I want to invoke grunt or bower, or bundle and minify, or any other web-dev workflow task, I can do so manually using an external command prompt window as well. So while it might not be as shiny as I was looking for, it's possible to get work done. The Ext JS plugin provides full Ext class hierarchy code-completion, and starter templates for both pure HTML5 (via file New Website) and HTML5+ASP.NET (via File New Project). When evaluating their plugin I initially thought there was NO way to do a pure HTML5 app inside visual studio because I was totally unaware of the File New Website option, and thought (incorrectly) of this area of VS as deprecated.
For Angular SPA development INCLUDING .NET there is this template, and it appears you could use it and just not write any ASP.NET server side stuff if you wanted to do a pure HTML5 SPA.
I would probably suggest starting with the angular SP development template linked above and modifying it to subtract angular and insert ExtJS, or using the ASP.NET 4.6 plus ExtJS template provided by Sencha's IDE plugin, and just subtracting all the ASP.NET code from that template. I don't yet have a starter template suggestion for the ASP.NET Core 1.0 .xproj world yet.
It should be possible, and seems quite easy to use .NET Core and ASP.NET Core as a key part of the tooling for a pure HTML5 development environment. In particular "dnx web" is a useful way of locally developing, as it is even more lightweight than using IIS Express. It should be equally feasible to develop for HTML5 with "DNX web" (kestrel) as the lightweight static server for pure HTML5, and either a full Visual Studio 2015 project (either website or webapp), or using just a modern web-editor like Visual Studio Code.
I hope that other developers who are still confused, as I was about the now-10-years-long split-personality issue in visual Studio with regards to New Web Site and New Web Application, may finally see some light at the end of the tunnel.
Update: Q4/2016: It actually looks like the two way split personality issues in VS 2015 will get worse in VS 2016 (Currently in preview as VS15) because there will be THREE ways to open a project, open solution/csproj via one menu item, open web project via another, and open folder via a third.
I am presently started working with mobile development and would like to know which is the best way to work with Html,css and jquery/Javascript for WP7.
As I have seen couple of things on the web as Phone Gap,Jquery mobile and Appcelerator Titanium
1.I have some of the problems actually this is not a problem but as PhoneGap gives a starter template with C# solution.
But I'm working on VB.Net.I'm unable to work with the C# solution as If I convert to VB.Net the entire starter template it is not working.
2.Just now I had a look at Jquery mobile there is no specific documentation mentioned how to use it with emulator in WP7.
Can anyone show me the links where I can start with the basics of Jquery mobile with WP7 emulator.
3.Do you think there is any other best way so that I Can work with jquery, html and css in WP7.
It sounds like PhoneGap is your best option here. Right now, it's the best way to deploy an HTML-based application on Windows Phone. The main thing that PhoneGap gives you is a bridge to the phone's hardware (things like volume buttons, vibration, etc.). It also gives you an easy way to wrap up your application into a package that can be installed like a real native app.
By themselves, other frameworks like jQuery Mobile, Sencha Touch and Kendo UI don't provide hardware access or the ability to deploy the app natively. They are purely UI frameworks, meaning they provide the interface widgets you'll use to build your app but little else. Generally, with these frameworks, you need to host the app somewhere like a website and access it through the browser.
Assuming you're running a Windows machine, you could host the app locally for development using Internet Information Services (IIS). Here's a guide to setting up a site. Then you could open the emulator and go to http://localhost to interact with your app. That would work, but it would be clunky.
The ideal scenario is to use both jQuery Mobile (or another UI framework) and PhoneGap to create a nice-looking, natively installable app.
What I'd recommend is trying to get PhoneGap set up in a VB project. From what I've seen, this shouldn't be too difficult. There are probably some details to work out, but mainly it looks like you need to copy the www and GapLib folders over. Then right click on References and browse to the GapLib .dll. You'll also need to get the MainPage.xaml and MainPage.vb files set up, but they probably just host a web browser control, so this should be straightforward.
Migrating the pieces into a new project should work a lot better than trying to convert an existing project.
If you post specific issues that you run into during the setup, I'm sure you could get them answered quickly.
In one of my projects, I have a very active classic ASP site with a requirement to integrate live event-based feeds as part of the existing UI. There is a plan to upgrade the site architecture to either MVC or MVP in the future, but this new feature must be implemented in the meanwhile.
I have decided to go with a WebSocket approach for this, as this is ultimately what we will want to use in the future, and rebuilding this doesn't make sense. The question is, how to integrate this with the classic ASP "architecture"?
The site already implements the jQuery library, and was hoping to leverage jQuery's capabilities to create those streamed sections on a given page.
The current req's ask for this news feed to exist on every page. Thus, loading a new page will re-render the news feed, and should kick of from where it left on the last page. For this, I'm guessing a position indicator will need to be read (session variable I'm guessing).
Anyhow, those are the requirements. I was thinking of wrapping the the entire existing classic ASP site inside a MVC or MVP (C#/.Net) project to allow us to begin swapping out legacy features as they are developed, such as this one.
I would like to get some advice on some recommended approaches for this scenario.
Thanks.
I would do a SignalR app and integrate it in you old app.
It's easy to integrate ASP classic with ASP.net MVC. Just mix the projects and exclude *.asp from the routes
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.asp/{*pathInfo}");
You will have some trouble in the root (/), but you can sort it with a redirect.
For a mixed authentication (if you need it) you will need to write your own authentication in MVC to use the same auth cookie that you use in Classic ASP. I've done this in the past with success.
I'm starting to develop a new HTML website for traveling using Dreamweaver. I'm also plans to integrate Wordpress to manage content of the website.
My questions are,
Where can i found tutorials to integrate Wordpress to my HTML website on localhost (for testing purposes)?
Can i add new web pages using wordpress?
If i want to migrate from HTML to ASP.NET etc., will it be possible?
Wordpress uses HTML. All the markup WordPress generates is HTML.
Yes. It is easy as selecting new page.
They are not the same thing. Using .net will mean you will use HTML for the markup. .net is just a framework you use.
If you want to develop websites and have a greater understanding of the markup and code, use the code view of Dreamweaver.
To run WordPress locally, you'll need to install a local server environment (e.g. XAMPP, MAMP, WAMP), and from there you can pretty much install just like you would on a normal server. Here's a good guide to installing WordPress locally.
