This tutorial covers the fundamentals of building a Web-based application. Unlike the development of most desktop applications, in which most of the parts are available locally (as components on the user's hard disk drive), developing a Web application requires getting software parts to work over a widely distributed network using a disconnected protocol. The technologies underlying ASP.NET have been around for a long time. Of course ASP.NET makes use of this technology underneath, while making it very approachable at the same time.
