[AccessD] OT: MS WebMatrix for web development

Hi Gustav:

At first blush it looks like an excellent little tool. It runs similar to
Adobe Dreamweaver but not as pricey. I hope Microsoft sticks with this
one...if they work it right it could be the MS Access of the web.

Hi all

Believe it or not, WebMatrix has been given a new life:

http://www.microsoft.com/web/webmatrix/

It claims to be the perfect tool to initiate web development if you think
that the more elaborate tools are not for you:

WebMatrix is everything you need to build Web sites using Windows. It
includes IIS Developer Express (a development Web server), ASP.NET (a Web
framework), and SQL Server Compact (an embedded database). It streamlines
Web site development and makes it easy to start Web sites from popular
open-source apps. The skills and code you develop with WebMatrix transition
seamlessly to Visual Studio and SQL Server.

It is still in beta though.
