Even ASP and PHP, however, were not enough for many modern web developers. Programmers had used the Microsoft Window programming interface before and were comfortable with it; elements on each window were referred to as “controls,” knew how to display themselves (as buttons, check boxes, or what have you), contain text, and work dynamically with the code core – the code, in other words, that actually did the specific work rather than just building the structural skeleton around it. This was a powerful tool, but HTML and other web options simply didn’t include it. A standard Windows application is “event driven,” which means code executes every time something happens – a button is pushed, a timer updates, a check box is clicked, or any number of possible options.

HTML pages, on the other hand, were page driven. Server-side code ran only once – when the page was loaded. Thus, all code had to be executed immediately, and the only way to get dynamic feedback was to reload the page using a complex system of workarounds with HTML forms. Seeing this weakness and wanting to make the web experience closer to the kind you get with event driven applications, Microsoft developers built a new system called ASP.NET. This was based on the client side ASP system, but was radically reorganized in structure; whereas before, ASP code was injected into the HTML wherever it fit, now things were more the other way around. The ASP.NET code declared page elements in the same way a windows applications built control.

We’ll discuss where C# comes into the picture - and how you can use C# consulting to your advantage – in a moment. For now, let’s talk about how the new ASP.NET technology has expanded the world of the Internet. One of the most important ways it has done so is to make a number of new, complex options available that had never been seen before. Because the web could now be run like a Windows application, the web could now perform the function of many Windows applications: database storage and modification, for instance. No longer was it necessary to have “client software” to allow interfacing with data networks; now any browser could access database applications by networking with servers outfitted with ASP.NET. Also, because ASP.NET is “server side” technology – in other words, all required software is installed on the server and not on the user’s computer (as is the case, with, say, Macromedia Flash or JavaScript) – any browser at all can access the information correctly.

That increased level of complexity and programming capability on the part of ASP.Net web developers enabled them to begin breaking new ground in the land of the Internet. Now, programmers could build virtual data centers – entire storehouses of information, all online and accessible only by users chosen by the virtual data center programmers – to allow the quick and easy dissimilation of knowledge. This new method of virtualization and virtual data center automation meant you no longer had to be on a certain network to work with your database, and it eliminated many of the old mainframe problems so many networks had. One good example of a good virtual data center, which uses virtualization to produce virtual data center automation, is the Microsoft support web site. This site, unlike many online virtual data centers, is open to the public for common usage. You’ll notice, if you go to the site, that each page ends in “.aspx” – that is the common extension for an ASP.NET web page.
