Dedication

This book is dedicated to my family: my wonderful wife, Rebecca; my awesome daughter, Claudia; and my home runslammin son, Christopher. I also and always want to thank the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Jesus for making it all possible .

Foreword

Its a really exciting time to be a web developer. The array of options that are available to you to be able to put your presence out there on the Internet is better than ever before. With the coming emergence of cloud computing, giving you global availability and infinite scalability, it feels like we are on the cusp of a new era in web computing.

The book in your hands is designed to get you started on this road. It will teach you about a new product that we at Microsoft are very proud of: WebMatrix.

With WebMatrix, you can easily get introduced to the wonderful world of open source applications. It makes it easy for you to acquire, install, and configure websites using applications such as WordPress, DotNetNuke, or Orchard. Traditionally, developers choosing to do this had to deal with the intricacies of installing and configuring these apps, making sure that they worked on their server, or making sure that databases and database connectivity were properly configured on the client and on the server. WebMatrix is designed to abstract that plumbing away from you and make it easy for you to have a FileNew WordPress or FileNew DotNetNuke experience.

Of course, if you dont want to use someone elses open source code but want to build for yourself, WebMatrix also includes the brand-new, very exciting, Microsoft ASP.NET Web Pages Framework. This is a very simple, very light, but extremely powerful framework that allows you to build fully functional, data-driven websites, more quickly and easily than ever before. And when you want to take the next step and build massively scalable websites, the syntax (nicknamed Razor ) is part of the ASP.NET MVC 3 release, and you can reuse your code and skills there.

WebMatrix is just the beginning. With this book, youll learn how to use it, and we hope to see you building the next generation of terrific websites and open source web applications with it.

Scott Guthrie

Introduction

Microsoft WebMatrix is a new tool from Microsoft that is aimed at making web development easy. As the web has evolved, its become apparent that web developers fall into three main categories:

  • Developers who prefer to use existing, open source web applications that they can then customize to their sites needs These developers dont want to focus on much of the plumbing required to build a site (such as authentication and membership, database construction, and so on) and instead want to focus on having a modern, powerful website. The explosive growth of websites built on WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, DotNetNuke, Umbraco, and Orchard has been fueled by this preference.

  • Developers who want to build sites for themselves but who want an easy-to-use, easy-to-learn framework These developers are generally willing to trade off ease of use and ease of learning against scalability. For this category, inline programming methodologies such as PHP or classic ASP are desirable.

  • Developers who understand the needs of scalability and who understand design patterns and the need for separation of tiers to bring about such scalability These web developers are willing to work with tools that have a longer learning curve to get more raw power.

WebMatrix is designed to make life easier for the first two types of developer. For those who want to use open source, WebMatrix provides a complete, coherent stack on which an open source application can run, regardless of the technology on which its built . So, for example, even though the popular WordPress application uses PHP and MySQL, WebMatrix makes it easy for a developer to acquire, download, and install WordPress, including all the dependencies needed to make it run on Windows.

For those who want to build sites themselves, WebMatrix comes with the Microsoft ASP.NET Web Pages Framework, which makes building webpages and websites very straightforward and uses a simple but powerful inline syntax. With this syntax (nicknamed Razor ), you can create HTML templates and then activate them with code that is compact, fluid, and easy to read. Your investment in skills with ASP.NET Web Pages will pay off when you are ready to scale up, because it is fully compatible with Microsoft ASP.NET, including ASP.NET Web MVC and ASP.NET Web Forms.

Who Should Read This Book

If you are interested in developing websites, this book is for you. If you are a first time web developer, or someone who wants to learn how to use open source or how to build active webpages, this book gives you a great entry into that world!
