Why ASP.NET?

ASP.NET has a very structured development environment, and has a few unique characteristics:

• ASP.Net is a framework that can use either Visual Basic or C# as its programming language
• ASP.NET uses something called "behind pages"

What this means is all pages are actually composed of two pages:

1. Front Page - content, mostly HTML and Javascript  with .aspx extension
2. Behind Page - VB programming, Controls with .aspx.vb extension
