I'm creating a TV guide in ASP (Classic ASP), and although I can do a PHP one well enough, the PC I'm on has IIS as its web server, with MySQL. It's a shared PC for educational use and web development, and users are encouraged to develop test sites.
Although IIS is running, with ASP.NET, *.asp was set as an ISAPI filter
I'm trying to emulate the ASP seen at http://library.digiguide.tv/lib/programmenextshowing/12578&hPage=3 and http://library.digiguide.tv/lib/programmenextshowing/12578 for my ASP pagination - plus a few simple page templates in ASP.
My .NET framework version is 4.0.
How can I do this for a beginner? I had a look on Google, but couldn't find much that would work with Windows 7.
(Forgot to mention, the computer only has MySQL as its database driver on it, the latest one, so MDB isn't possible)
Cheers
JC
As you've stated this is for educational purposes, the best thing for you is to read a beginners guide online, as you've posted a far too broad question to be answered in a single response.
http://www.asp.net/data-access/tutorials/efficiently-paging-through-large-amounts-of-data-cs
When you have a specific code-related question do come back and post, along with relevant code, so you can get a specific answer to a specific question.
Good luck.

I have started on a web app for the ORG i work for, using notepad++ for html and css and of course php and javascript. I must say that the ORG did not used to have software developers, all software they have is off-the-shelf or oracle forms and am a recent grad.
We got a new hire he has much more experience "he claims", the thing is that he has been criticizing me for using notepad++ for html, he instead suggests using ASP.NET in VS. His argument comes from security risks and better support point of view.
The web app will consist of a website for the visitors to browse, in addition to an intranet for employees to use onsite and globally.
So i am not sure if i am on the right track and he is showing off, or i should be following his advice "he could be our new IT manager".
I thank you very much in advance.
The editor you are using has literally nothing to do with the security of the programmed application. Notepad++ is perfectly fine, even though i would recommend something like Atom, Visual Studio Code or Sublime.
One thing they have as a "security advantage" over Notepad++ is, that it is easier to install plugins that try to check your code and point out possible bugs. Otherwise blaming the Editor for Security issues is nonsense.
I have no experience with ASP.NET, i tried it a few times but never liked it. I think it comes with some authentication solutions out of the box.
HTML and CSS have very little to do with security. JavaScript and especially PHP is what you have to be careful with. I would recommend to use some kind of PHP framework as there are often well tested authentication components included. Frameworks I know of are Symfony and Laravel (which is built on Symfony).
I have found this question in my University Past paper.
I know what is enterprise application and i also have a detail knowledge of HTML.. But i could not understand what is the specific purpose of html in enterprise application development. I search this question in different ways from google but no site explain it in any way except the one which is (https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20160825012934AAuuG4g)
This site says (If the application is web based, it needs HTML to display its GUI.)
GUI can alse be displayed using JAVA.
I want someone explain me in a better way
Yes, you can use Java API also for Web Based Enterprise, Its upto you which domain is used for creating Enterprise application..
An enterprise application can consist of anything. It's a big business application. The technology used for it can differ wildly, as you pointed out, Java can be used to display the GUI.
Most businesses opt for web-based applications utilizing HTML5 and Bootstrap. It makes mobility less of an issue when someone is out in the field (if that is one of the requirements) and easily maintainable etc.
Or you can have a windows application as your enterprise application, using .NET, Java, whatever to display an interact with your desktop. This means people have to be AT work to DO work because the application is installed on a PC, not compatible with Linux etc.
It's all about what the business needs are. HTML is just a technology that CAN be applied to an enterprise application
I'm new to the web framework, but have been using Java/Servlet/JSP for my previous web development because I hate PHP. I'm thinking of starting a new feature laden website that I need to quickly create and been deciding on numerous technologies.
I dabbled in Drupal for a while and found it too restrictive and didn't particularly enjoy constantly trying to find a module that almost do what you want so I'm moving over to a web framework.
I considered ASP .NET or Django. Searching on this site, I found a couple of questions ("[Is there any advantage to Django versus ASP.NET MVC other than platform? closed" and "ASP.NET MVC vs. Django - Which framework should I learn?"), but they don't fit my situation.
In my case, I'm new to Python and have to learn that, but am relatively familiar with C# due to Java/C++/XNA and VB Classic 6.0. In both cases, I have no experience with Django/Python or ASP .NET/SQL Server and have never created a site with either.
My reasons are as follows:
I like the idea of having a full stack from one vendor and not mock around with Linux as it took me forever to setup a proper secure setup of Ubuntu, PHP, MySQL and Apache. I don't want technical oddities of learning gazillion different applications with obscure settings to get it working. This is mostly a concern with Django/Python as I believe MS got their stuff well tied togheter.
Django is designed for newspaper website so it focuses on rapid and efficient development of new features with good design principles. I love the idea of there is only one good way to do it and the Django authors perfectionism. The pitfall of course is since 2005 they are still on version 1.2! Ruby on Rails is far ahead of them considering I saw this video. Yeah, I watched the whole entire 3-hours, but didn't understand much from the RoR demonstration.
ASP .NET is appealing to me because I already know C# and VB Classic 6.0. I'm familiar with Visual Studio and like the fact that it is also tied in to Windows Phone 7/Xbox Live Indie games with XNA. However, if those features are used is another question down the road. However, as mentioned before ASP .NET just seemed streamelined with plenty of documentation and support. Future job prospects also seem more in favor with MS technology.
What does the community here think?
I would like to hear different ideas as I beginning web programmer it is very daunting and I have vasted far too much time figuring this out on my own the hard way. Help would be very much appreciated!
ASP.Net and WISC# stack.
WISC - Windows/IIS/SqlServer/C# :)
if you want an MVC Web Framework use ASP.net MVC , since you come from a Java Background C# wont be a problem for you
Django is a good framework but you have to learn python
i've worked with classic asp so far and want to change to php (instead of asp.net)
could someone explain the main benefits from php over asp/asp.net?
thanks
I'm not sure there is a definitive answer for this question as most of the items are going to boil down to your own style. And I have used quite a bit of both in my professional career. I just like c# better.
Both technologies are used to build web pages.
Both are highly flexible and provide you the capabilities to do whatever you want in a web site.
Both have idiosyncrasies that just take time to understand and get comfortable with.
Both have a large following and can be deployed just about anywhere.
Both have good database and security support.
You can shoot yourself just as easily with one as the other.
At the end of the day, the only real difference I can come up with is that the .Net languages are usually precompiled prior to deployment and therefore enjoy compile time checks and static code analysis.
Take a look at PHP vs ASP: An in-depth Comparison.
PHP has much more to offer than ASP which is why it powers sites like facebook and yahoo.
Main benefit of PHP is cheaper hosting.
Disclaimer: all below is IMHO.
The only benefit of php vs asp.net I see is that it runs on open source LAMP stack, so if you want to get a job in a startup php skills might be more demanded than asp.net.
Other than that, asp.net beats php on ease of implementation and flexibility. So being a biased asp.net developer, I would advise you to look into asp.net instead of php.
I am very curious about what you think is the best approach for people that want to start webdevelopment. I'm now talking about people that finished their education and so want to start from scratch.
I still have questions like:
Where do you start?
What software gets involved in webdevelopment?
What tools / setup would you recommend?
Offcourse i'm interested to hear alot more then only the answers to those three questions.
I am not writing this to get a load of people react on my post, i am trully interested in knowing how much work and money it will cost a webdeveloper when starting from scratch.
I hope to get a clear view on how to approach and to maybe hear some best practices.
Well one thing's for sure, education isn't finished! There's a whole lot to learn, and the more we learn the more we seem to need to learn.
If you're really starting from having no programming background whatsoever then I think you'd be advised to take a staged approach. For example:
1). A web page with a few different text formats and pictures and colours. Here you're just learning HTML. For that any browser and a notepad editor would do, but probably a tool such as Eclipse that gives some HTML editing capability would help.
2). More adaptive HTML - stylesheets that let you change appearance without changing all the html. So that's CSS.
3). Using the above, improve your designs. There are loads of formatting tricks good web sites use and you'll need to learn those.
Note that by now we've done a lot of study and we have not actually written any programs!
4). Dynamic web pages. Now we move to the programming side, rather than just writing some HTML files write a program that delivers the HTML and in some way changes the content. Starting with something really simple such as including "today's date is ..." on the page. For that You would need to pick a server development technology such as Ruby/Rails or PHP or Java/JSP ... You'll get a lot of different advise about "best" for this.
5). Now you can start to work on accepting input from the user and doing something with it so that useful work gets done. Things such as databases start to become important.
There's a whole load more after that, JavaScript and so on. An experienced programmer can pick up this kind of stuff quite quickly, if you've never done any programming at all then you will need to be prepared to take a while before you can get to the level you probably target. I think the key is to acknowledge that a great commercial web site reflects a lot of collective wisdom and skill picked up over many years, and probably is the result of a multi-disciplinary team working together. For one person to match that is a big ask. For one person to produce something nice and useful is more practical, but still does need a lot of different skills. It's quite reasonable to specilaise in a subset of the skills. For example, good visual designers write little or no code but are highly valuable.
you need:
a browser, eg. FireFox, Internet Explorer. A webdeveloper toolbar might also be useful.
a webserver, eg. Apache, Tomcat, IIS
a programming environment, eg. Php or ASP.NET
a development tool, eg. Notepad, Notepad++, Visual Studio .NET, Eclipse
most of the times a database, eg. SQL Server, mySQL
I'd say it depends what you want them to master: the technologies only (up to which skill level ?) or the whole software engineering behind a web project
A sample and fast technologies learning tree could be:
1) HTML
2) CSS
3) HTTP
4) Server side programming (PHP ?): programming concepts, interacting with HTML/CSS, then PHP API
5) Databases (start simply with MySQL for instance) + SQL (CRUD with Joins, Subselect, Indexes, Views and Transactions)
6) Client side programming (JavaScript first then Ajax)
7) A web framework (ZEND ? cake ?) and a good IDE (lots of...)
Full-time learning those technologies requires at least 1.5 year , based on the experience I have with my students and people must be trained mainly on concrete projects.
Then people should learn software engineering (cf link text) covering at least
- software requirements
- software design
- software construction
- software testing
I think people can have useful experience in this software engineering tree in 1 year and can (should) combine learning technologies with learning software engineering.
For training someone from scratch (technologies + software engineering) I'd say a least 2 years if working on at least three 6-month projects
This answer is Microsoft specific.
For starters you'll need an editor, a (optional) database and a few starting points.
Microsoft supplies most of these for free: you can download the Visual Studio Webdeveloper 2008 Express Edition for free, this includes most of the stuff you'll need.
If you plan on developing database driven websites, and who isn't, you might want to use the free SQL Server 2008 Express Edition
When you have the tools setup it's time to download some samples and see see how they work. Again Microsoft supplies some for free. You can check out tutorials and samples at their Asp.Net site.
When you are ready for some more advanced stuff, check out ASP.NET MVC, again at Microsoft.
With these tools and examples you should be able to get started.
I just want to add that you will most likely also need Photoshop or other tool to create the graphics for your web sites.
In spite of java/.net/php,the HTML,CSS,JavaScript are the basic web development toolkit.
Get a job as a junior developer that will put you on a project that is developing a web application. I personally think it should involve one of the two most established platforms, Java or .Net. I know some will disagree, but these are good foundations to branch into other tech platforms later.
Make sure you open an IDE (e.g. Visual Studio or Eclipse) everyday and code something. If not, find a new job immediately.
Read religiously at night. Start with "Code Complete", then move on to other books.
Learn the fundamental technologies of the World Wide Web:
HTTP
HTML
CSS
JavaScript
DNS, URL's
Good luck and happy travels!!
you need:
a google chrome . This provide you some advantage like inspect option. A webdeveloper toolbar might also be useful.
2. Html, Css, JavaScript are the basic language that you should be know
a programming environment, eg. Php or ASP.NET is needed for storing data and making login type page
a Visual Code Studio is needed for coding. This provide you emmet facilities that suggest you while you are coding
