I'm currently learning web development in MS.Net. C# seems like a nice language and all, but the .Net web projects are so bloated it's not even funny. To make a simple page that posts a form to itself while doing a Rot13 on the posted text, somewhere around ten files are created. TEN FILES!

Ahh, Microsoft. They never disappoint you, do they? :-)

.NET is just really a new development platform for Windows applications, Web sites and everything inbetween. The problem is that they're trying too hard. They put everything i VS.Net, from C++ to creating small HTML pages. Obviously this is slow and bloated.

Latest thing I heard MS is going to "close" the .Net technology by renaming it and changing the protocols used.

Well, at least I've managed to code my first ASP.Net page outside of VS.Net now :-)
Now all I need is a printed ASP.Net/C# reference and I should be set to go.

Oh, and by the way - the executables compiled in VS.Net may be small, but the .Net framework is at it's smallest 20MB and there's where all the logic is at. So to run a 2kB "Hello world" program, you need 20MB of DLLs first.
