Back in 2003,
Office Pro Plus 2010 Product Key, Microsoft had a strategy to attract Web website developers towards the Microsoft platform with a skunkworks undertaking known as WebMatrix. On July seven,
Office 2010 Sale, 2010, Microsoft brought back again that discontinued energy, through the introduction of a new tool suite known as WebMatrix.Microsoft is generating out there for download a very first beta of the new WebMatrix as of today. The plan — if feedback is positive — is to release the final version before the end of this calendar year.Scott Guthrie, the Corporate Vice President of Microsoft;s .Net Developer Platform, previewed last week a few of the tools that are part with the WebMatrix suite. These include a lightweight version of Microsoft;s IIS Internet Server,
Office 2010 Pro Plus Serial Key, known as IIS Express; an updated version of SQL Server Compact Edition; and a brand new “view-engine option” for ASP.Net, recognized as “Razor,” which enables developers to embed Visual Basic or C# within HTML.WebMatrix is more than the sum of these parts, however. Like the original WebMatrix, it;s a light-weight Web development tool, with accompanying samples and documentation, in its own correct. The new WebMatrix also integrates with Microsoft;s open-source Web ##############, plus a reference device for finding potential hosting partners for sites the WebMatrix developers build.According to a new July 6 Microsoft Web Platform Team Blog post, WebMatrix is a 15 MB download (50 MB for those who don;t already have .Net 4 installed). It can be installed side-by-side with Visual Studio 2010 and/or Visual Internet Developer 2010 Express.The goal of WebMatrix, according to its developers, is “to make it really easy to get started with web development.” The new device “minimizes the number of concepts someone needs to learn in order to get simple things done, and includes and integrates all with the pieces necessary to quickly build Internet sites,” the blog said.Brian Goldfarb, Microsoft Director of Developer Platform Marketing, said Microsoft has been gathering feedback since it discontinued the original WebMatrix through focus groups comprised of members of the open-source community, students, hobbyists and more. The goal with the tool is to make it easy for Internet developers — whether they already are using Microsoft tools and technologies,
Office Professional Plus 2010, or tools like PHP, MySQL and other open-source ones — to acquire,
Office Standard 2010 Activation Key, configure and customize the components they need to build basic Internet sites. The IIS Express, SQL Server Compact Edition and Razor technologies are all included, but all optional, Goldfarb emphasized.The original ASP.Net WebMatrix was end-of-lifed in 2003, but the feedback from that project influenced the new WebMatrix, Goldfarb said. Unlike the original, “this (WebMatrix) is a fully supported Microsoft product,” he said.Microsoft is creating the new WebMatrix available for download and installation using the company;s Internet Platform Installer.What;s your take? Has the new Microsoft WebMatrix got the proper stuff to appeal to newbie Internet developers (even for those who prefer developing with open-source technologies)? Why/why not?
