Microsoft revs its ASP.NET engines
MS-Watch | at | by Mike
At this week's VSLive! developer conference in San Francisco, Microsoft will be doing more than showing off its next-generation tools suite. The company also will be beating the drum for its ASP .Net scripting language - Redmond's alternative to the open-source PHP.
To demonstrate momentum for ASP .Net, Microsoft is expected to highlight several projects the company has built using ASP. Net. And, plucking a page from the open-source book, Microsoft will likely tout the fact that it is making the full source code available to developers interested in these ASP .Net wares.
Microsoft already introduced one such project - its ASP. Net Web Matrix hobbyist development tool - less than a year ago. Microsoft has shown off Web Matrix at two LinuxWorld Expo shows, including last month's in New York.
