ASP.NET:

ASP.NET is a Microsoft developed open-source server-side web applica- tion framework designed for web development to produce dynamic web pages. ASP.NET Web pages, known officially as Web Forms, are the main building blocks for application development in ASP.NET.  .NET  is  very big and very powerful. It is used to build large corporate applications. This power comes with an overhead though. For most websites, this is the equivalent of a supercomputer being used to perform simple arithmetic on two numbers. Moreover, ASP.NET was developed in early 2002, meaning it isn’t particularly suited to modern web development, which is about agile and iterative development cycles. .NET is particularly rigid and makes rapid development much harder, which is code for longer development cycles, overblown budgets and overdue projects.

There are two basic methodologies for Web Forms, a web application format and a web site format. Web applications need to be compiled before deployment, while web sites structures allows the user to copy the files directly to the server without prior compilation. Web forms are contained in files with a “.aspx” extension; these files typically contain static (X) HTML markup or component markup. The component markup can include server-side Web Controls and User Controls that have been defined in the framework or the web page.

 

Databases:

Any dynamic website that needs to manipulate data would require integra- tion with a database software. The most popular databases in the world operate on a relational model, and are hence called relational databases. Virtually all relational database systems use SQL (Structured Query Lan- guage) as the language for querying and maintaining the database. Oracle Database (commonly referred to as Oracle RDBMS or simply as Oracle) is an object-relational database management system, which is also the most widely used RDBMS in the world, followed by MySQL.
