Enterprise Web Solutions with ASP.NET
Enterprise Web Solutions with ASP.NET
I attended a training class on developing Enterprise Web Solutions with ASP.Net on 4/13/2004. The instructor was Keith Nicholson from developerlabs.net and he's also the President of the Oklahoma City .Net Users Group.
The only new subjects covered, that I personally hadn't been exposed to before, were Microsoft's Content Mangement Server, Commerce Server, and BizTalk.
After attending the class and having received a demo of Sharepoint from Microsoft a few weeks ago, I'm left wondering, if and how these products could be used together.
Sharepoint has the most features out of the 3 content products from Microsoft, but it lacks the more detailed News or Article content handling of Content Management Server and the shopping cart features of Commerce Server.
If all three were able to be used together, it would give the feeling of a complete solution. If anyone knows how well they do or don't work together, please let me know.
As for BizTalk, I've heard so many different views from various developers that I don't know which would be the consensus. Is it good or is bad?
The class really just gave a high level overview of the three technologies, but for those new to ASP.Net it gave a lot of needed information on how to be productive with ASP.Net.
