What tool do I need to develop in ASP.NET?
Do I need Visual Studio.NET to create ASP.Net applications?
Are there any other ASP.NET editors apart from Visual Studio.NET?

Welcome Koko Smile

You can develop ASP.NET applications with a plain text editor like Notepad for example.

You can use Web Matrix which is a free ASP.NET development tool and it is available from ASP.NET official website.

Finally you can use Visual Studio.NET, which is the best choice for me. Although a little price it is worth every penny you pay for it.



Cheers,

I highly recommend Web Matrix!

I was using this whilst studying, as I could not afford VS.Net.

I have to say that for a free tool, Web Matrix is amazing.
Its certainly sufficient for the beginner to intermediate developer.

Web Matrix is good, I agree, however Microsoft have recently released their new version of Visual Studio (VS.NET 2005) and one of the editions is free - Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition. You can't beat that Smile

What exactly is the express edition lacking?
If it's free, Im assuming there are many features that aren't included?

Here is a very nice comparison table for the different MS Visual Studio editions, straight from the source Smile

Thanks Don Smile
Nice list there.

Its a little confusing how they come out with so many different versions.
They are now planning to do the exact same thing with Windows Vista!
