From: Craig on 7 Jul 2010 22:28 Nope. Haven't tried it. Haven't looked into it to determine whether the shipping version will be free. Beta may be the only thing "free" and that's only if you don't count bug-hunting and the countdown to when it stops working altogether. That being said, it gets a favorable review from the good peeps at WebMonkey. > Microsoft has unveiled a new all-in-one web development suite called > WebMatrix. > > It�s more than an IDE or a framework, it�s a whole suite � a web > server, a SQL database, and a database-ready framework, all wrapped > up into a single development environment that makes it easy to build, > test and deploy some fairly complex web apps. > > WebMatrix is free, and it�s available for Windows users as a beta > download. > > The new suite is especially geared towards developers building web > apps that require local data storage. It�s pretty flexible, and you > can also use it to build simple websites, then scale up to something > mid-weight or incorporate a full-scale app that you could run a > business on top of. > > The WebMatrix suite is made up of three components: the lightweight > Windows-based web server called IIS Express, SQL Server Compact > Edition, a simple database server, and Razor, a new templating > language based on ASP.NET. The beta version you can download today > actually doesn�t have Razor, but it will be included in a future > release �later this month,� according to Microsoft. <http://www.webmonkey.com/2010/07/meet-webmatrix-microsofts-new-suite-for-painless-web-development/> -- -Craig |
