Visual Web Developer

So, I am running through a list of videos here;

And finiding out that making a website from scratch, all hand written, is a little bit obsolete. Depending on how you set up your page, you may need some code clean up but for the most part VWD seems to do a fantastic job of keeping things neat and tidy. In fact one of the most amazing aspects of VWD was its CSS handler/manager. Wow! Not only do you NOT need to memorize all the different options/syntax but they have all your customizations listed right there for you, to pick apart at your leisure.

I am very impressed with this piece of software. I must say.

Cheers!

Still Learning

Just a brief post today.

I had taken a hiatus for various reasons a month ago (mainly being sick) but I am trying to get back in to the swing of things, though I am taking a slightly different direction currently.

Right now I am trying my hand at .NET programming. Specifically asp.NET. I am not really versed on everything as of yet, and I am not QUITE sure which specific language I am actually learning, but currently it seems like (as I am using Visual Web Developer 2008 express) I am utilizing a few different languages. Mainly C#, HTML, AJAX, Java and Visual Basic. I am sure there are/is more to it than that, but as of my second day, that seems to be the gist of it.

My goal in utilizing asp.NET is to be able to create a simple income tracker for my business, using a SQL database server that we already have running for other things.

We shall see how it goes, and I will try to keep this, blog, updated more frequently than as-of-late.

Cheers!
