Welcome to My Site
This is my personal site and it is also my first solo foray into the world of ASP.NET and SQL Databases. This site is also a Great-Webs.Com demo site for potential clients wishing to view a data driven membership website. This site is derived from the Microsoft Visual Studio ASP.NET Personal Starter Kit and has been expanded to allow page updating and user management using a regular web browser.
What's New
For the past year, I have really thrown myself into the Microsoft world of ASP.Net.
I have traditionally programmed websites using HTML, DHTML, JavaScript and CGI scripts.
What's Up Lately
As I mentioned above, I've been studying the Microsoft ASP. NET framework. ASP. NET websites are much more complex than their HTML counterparts. ASP. NET websites are actually applications running on a web server. Numerous programming languages are supported. I've been focusing on VB and C#. The code for the ASPX pages are actually kept in a separate file or code behind file. This keeps the actual code separate from the page layout. The code behind file is executed when the ASPX page is called with a web browser.
AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) enable partial page updates. In other words the whole page is not reloaded but, just a section of the page changes. I will be adding a number of AJAX enabled features into this website over the next several weeks.
How's the Weather?
10/10/07 - Finally we are receiving some much needed rain. We have had virtually zero rain for 10 or more weeks. In addition it has been unusually warm for this time of year. Last week felt like mid-summer as opposed to early fall.
