I am a .NET developer, I am interested in writing about Silverlight, .NET and other stuff...
Which free blog provider would you recommend me?

dasBlog because developer inevitably will get involved with the internals of the blog engine. And because Computer Zen runs on it.
Umbraco + Umbraco Blog Package
Top notch CMS and a really easy to install and use blog package for it
I agree with mP's comment that it doesn't really matter which tech powers the internals of the blog, but having said that I'm guessing you want a blog that is running off of .NET.
Check this answer I posted for a similar question, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/646538/cms-for-a-personal-website-asp-net-c/649073#649073. It is the blogger.com service integrated into your own ASP.NET web site.

How does Yii 2.0 work and what does it do?
I'm new to IT. I read the documentation online, but I don't understand what it does and how it works. Maybe the documentation is to advanced for me or my newbie head can't wrap around it.
I would like to mention, that Stack Overflow is not "Google for software developers". 95% of information could be found if you just google for it.
So if you are doing internship and has to do something with the Yii framework, I assume you already can do some PHP and probably know what is software development (web development). You can develop your web applications using different frameworks. One of those frameworks is the Yii framework.
There is a lot of information about the Yii on the official Yii homepage. You can start with reading its documentation.
Then there is also the "Definitive guide to Yii 2.0". Here is introduction and the first steps.
Have fun with learning it, and I wish you success learning Yii.
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

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'm a newbie to web development (although I have built basic sites long ago using HTML, CSS, hacked various CMS's etc) and was wondering what language and associated framework is best to go with for a data driven web service with a dynamic UI (i.e. AJAX-ey effects) which I hope will scale at some stage in the future. I am fairly proficient in iOS development so am comfortable with Object Orientated development and the Model View Controller paradigm. Any advice and/or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Don't learn a language by learning a framework. Do basic non-framework programming in your language of choice first. THEN jump into the framework. Otherwise you're laboring under the double burden of unfamiliar language AND unfamiliar environment.
Basically, learn to drive first, THEN pimp out your ride.
If you're familiar with the Cocoa libraries, you might consider using Sproutcore which has a design that is highly informed by Cocoa. It also has the added bonus of being rather forward looking (aka: the new hotness) and is at the point of becoming a serious tool (ie: Apple uses it for mobile.me ) but still new enough that it is under active development by excited, passionate and skilled developers.
Also, as an aside to everyone advocating learning the basics. For many of us, the best way to learn something well is to have a real project and learn by building. Sproutcore seems like a good option for someone familiar with iOS development.
The easiest framework in my opinion is CodeIgniter and the docs are fantastic but this is really a subjective question.
I agree with #Marc B, first master your language, then you could start using a framework.
as a language the two obvious choices are either asp.net, or php, both have their advantages and disadvantages... you have some reading to do, a simple google search will provide you with plenty of info. there is no one size fits all in this department. look at some code examples, see what you feel comfortable about.
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.
