What software you need
Software option #1: Full editions of
Visual Studio 2010
To develop ASP.NET 4 applications, you can use any
of the full editions of Visual Studio 2010:
- Professional Edition
- Premium Edition
- Ultimate Edition
All of these come with everything you need
to develop ASP.NET 4 applications, including the Visual
Studio development environment, version 4 of the Microsoft
.NET Framework, Visual Basic 2010 and C# 2010, a built-in
web server that's ideal for testing ASP.NET applications,
and a scaled-back version of SQL Server called SQL Server
Express.
Software option #2: Free editions of Visual Studio components
You can also download two Express editions of Visual Studio software
from Microsoft's web site to develop ASP.NET 4 applications:
- Visual Web Developer 2010 Express
- SQL Server Express Edition
Both of these products are free. And together, they
provide all of the components in the full editions of
VS 2010.
Please note, though, that Visual Web Developer 2010
is a scaled-back version of the full editions. That's
why you'll find that some of its user interfaces are
simpler than the ones in our book, which are from the
Professional Edition. And you may find that a few of
the features aren't available.
Nevertheless, Visual Web Developer 2010 is a terrific
product for learning how to develop ASP.NET 4 applications.
And both the applications and the skills that you develop
will work with any of the full editions of VS 2010.
