ASP.NET is a development framework for building web pages and web sites with HTML, CSS, JavaScript and server scripting.

ASP.NET supports three different development models:
Web Pages, MVC (Model View Controller), and Web Forms:

Web Pages Single Pages Model |  | MVC Model View Controller |  | Web Forms Event Driven Model
Simplest ASP.NET model. Similar to PHP and classic ASP. Built-in templates and helpers for database, video, graphics, social media and more. |  | MVC separates web applications into 3 different components: Models for data Views for display Controllers for input |  | The traditional ASP.NET event driven development model: Web pages with added server controls, server events, and server code.

## Web Pages Tutorial

If you are new to ASP.NET, Web Pages is the perfect place to start.

Web Pages is the easiest development model for developing ASP.NET web sites.

## Who Are These Tutorials For?

The tutorials above are for anyone who wants to learn to build websites on the Microsoft ASP.NET platform, from hobby-related sites, to new, modern, and fully commercial webs.

Even if you are new to web programming, you should be able to follow the tutorials, but it will help if you have a basic understanding of HTML and CSS.

It will also help if you have a basic understanding of scripting languages like JavaScript or VB (Visual Basic).

Do you have a preference for VB over C#? Do you want to learn both languages? The good news are: In the W3Schools tutorials most code examples are in both languages.

If you are a professional web developer with prior ASP.NET experience, you can still learn a lot, since these tutorials covers a lot of new ASP.NET concepts, like HTML5, CSS3, JQuery, and more.
