我可以在Windows 7上仅使用VS 2010 Express和localhost来学习ASP.NET MVC吗？

Question

If so,

• What tooling do I need?
• What reference sites could be useful?

I have VS 2010 Express, "C# Edition". What is the absolutely most trivial DB and localhost web server setup needed?

(Professionally, I'm a Windows Mobile dev using VS 2008. This ASP.NET MVC task is just for fun at home, to learn something new.)

Answer 1

Yes, although you should probably use Visual Web Developer Express Edition instead.

All you need is SQL CE and Cassini (which are both included in VWD), and the MVC3 framework .
For bigger databases, you can use SQL Server Express Edition , also free.

Answer 2

All you need is to install WebMatrix in addition to Visual Web Developer Express . It comes with IIS Express + SQL Compact which is great for "toying".

Note

You do not need to use WebMatrix IDE, it is only a useful package to install all you need in one go.
