Getting started with Visual Web Developer Express?

Check out the Visual Web Developer Express Edition Guided Tour if you’re just getting familiarised with the new environment.

It runs you through the various new features of ASP.NET 2.0 and has some handy info on SQL Server Express (which I found handy).

Or if you’re like me, you’re probably thinking? ” Now why do I need to read a guided tour?” I’m sure i’ll find out everything I need to know by myself anyway? Well, then jump right ahead! Yup! Go for it!

I haven’t actually read that guided tour (well, except for the SQL Server part).

And here is another handy link: Web Development with Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition and SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, Part 1.

I’m fine with the Visual Web Dev, it’s just the getting it to play nicely with SQL Server Express that was causing a bit of pain. But thanks to the two above articles, I got it to work. And also posted my solution on the Channel9.msdn.com forums.

Ok, back to my lunch now…
