It’s like the difference between a bicycle and a motorcycle. A bicycle gets you where you’re going, but a motorcycle has a ton of added features and you can do a lot more with it than you can a bicycle. I recommend doing some research on ASP to see exactly what it offers.
I’d recommend even more than that learning PHP instead.
> ld someone elaborate the difference between asp.net websites and html websites?
What’s the difference between a petrol car and a car with an steel body?
HTML is a language for describing the semantics and structure of text.
ASP.NET is a programming framework for generating web page content (mostly HTML) dynamically.
There isn’t a choice between using HTML and ASP.NET. The choices are between HTML+CSS+JS and Flash for frontend and Static files, ASP.NET, PHP, Perl, Python, Java, and a host of others for the backend.
> I don’t know if I should use dreamweaver to design the website or if I should use Visual Web Development 2008.
Neither.
Design websites with pencil and paper. Implement them with a text editor (I’m fond of Komodo Edit).
ASP.NET and .Net is used for creating dynamic webpages whereas HTML is used for creating static webpages..
Asp.net allows you to make dynamic web pages, html in general only Static
MS has a few free tools ofor site development http://www.microsoft.com/exPress/,. I would go with Visual Web developer. The probelm with Dreamweaver is you don’t really learn about html, JS etc…
Take my advise check out ASP.NET a good starting point is http://www.asp.net.
Hey Friend, just a few things.
All websites and pages are html, all of em. No matter what tool you use to make it. It is always good old html that the client’s browser sees.
ASP.NET (and other server scripting tools) allow you to :
use and create reusable complex html controls,
use powerful computer languages like C# to write business logic,
gather user input and save it,
display content to the user from a constantly updated datasource.
If your goal is to display mostly static content with few updates from a single user you can get by with just using HTML. If you want users to dynamically interact with your site, where their actions can change your content. Then you should learn a server scripting language like asp.net
Good luck.
