Working at a web development company. Tools we use on a daily basis are Photoshop, Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and Sql Server 2005.

As for coding, we use C#, VB.net, Javascript, Sql Server 2005 and CSS, with other minor things like HTML.

Difference between Asp and Asp.net is Asp.net is compiled into Dll's which reside in the code, which basically means when you eventually hand over the code to your client, the only thing they can see is all the front end code like CSS, Javascript, HTML etc, but they are unable to access any of the C# or Asp code in the background.

Example would be a piece of code that feeds news articles onto the home page. The only thing the client would see is this:

<a href="NewsArticlesView.aspx?id=<%#Eval("NewsID") %>"><%#GetBlurb(Eval("Blurb").ToString()) %></a>

he wouldn't see the more than 200 lines of code needed to connect the the database, perform various functions and feed the news out via that piece of code, that would all be compiled into a DLL. Compiled code performs a heck of a lot faster and is more robust!

OR a better, alternative would be to generate the HTML on server-side and render it back to the page, so the physical .aspx page would be almost empty when opened in something like notepad...

Once its on the server it only compiles into HTML to anybody viewing the source, but the client who requested the site to be built for him will still get to see the actual aspx code when its handed over to be hosted on his server.

You can precompile the site, and only host binaries. Seen it done. Had to decompile a site like that once. Reflector FTW!

When you google describe the problem in simple english. Most of the time when my juniors can't solve a problem is because they're not asking the right question. For example. "How do I submit a page?" will get you a crap load of answers, but not necessarily the one you want. "How do I submit a page using ASP.NET?" would get your more specific answers. Also don't be afraid to copy and paste an error message into the search box. "I'm getting an error when I submit a page" would help you blue ****all compared to "HTTP 401.2 Authentication" for example.

I don't have a programming background but need to use it occasionally. So, I program by trial and error (like walking naked in the snow it is quite liberating) and this site has become one of my best friends
http://bug.gd/ Even has a Firefox addin.

Trail and error is the best way. Also, I can attest that copying error messages into google often returns good results.
