Dot Net Web Forms Project and Web Site

I have been doing Java development since 2001, and lately i have been taking in new languages such as Objective C, Swift, etc.  Recently, on a project I was working on used a Microsoft product called HealtVault. I figured its about time to learn the other flavor of web development, the one that using the Microsoft stack called Dot Net.

This page gave me the link to install the free version (called Express) of the Microsoft IDE called Visual Studio. So, I am off to races using Microsoft.

They say the Express Visual Studio is perfect for a single developer . Likewise, web world team foundation server is for enterprise ms.
