ASP.NET, also known as ASP+, is a Web development platform based on the .NET Framework. It is a new generation scripting language launched by Microsoft.
ASP.NET is a development framework for creating web pages and websites using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and server scripts.
ASP.NET supports three different development models: Web Pages (Web pages), MVC (Model View Controller model-view-controller), and Web Forms (Web Forms):
| Web Pages single page mode | MVC Model-View-Controller | Web Forms event-driven model | ||
| The simplest ASP.NET mode. Similar to PHP and classic ASP. Built-in templates and helpers for databases, videos, graphics, social media, etc. | MVC divides the web application into 3 different components: Model is responsible for data View is responsible for display Controller is responsible for input | Traditional ASP.NET event-driven development model: Web pages with server controls, server events, and server code. |
If you are new to ASP.NET, it is recommended to start with Web Pages.
Web Pages is the simplest development model for developing ASP.NET websites.
