Getting Started with WebForms

[@miles6875]

I really appreciate being able to approach these more modern programming contexts through the lens of access programming - thank you.

[@seanmackenziedataengineering]

You're very welcome! Once you get familiar with WebForms, it will feel like a natural extension of your MS Access world. There are a few more videos in this series, make sure to check them out!

SOME NOTES: 1. When you install Visual Studio, you need to pick initial options and you should choose *ASP. Net and web development*. There are some others that are useful. See a screenshot of my recommended options here: www.mackenziemackenzie.com/downloads 2. You do need an Azure account and subscription in order to get rolling. azure.microsoft.com 3. Use portal.azure.com to manage your App Service and your Azure SQL database 4. Use SSMS on your desktop to work on the design of your database; download here learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssms/download-sql-server-management-studio-ssms?view=sql-server-ver16

Revisiting this video and intrigued by the technique of using SQL express locally to develop scripts that will eventually be passed to cloud SQL server environment. Great tip

[@seanmackenziedataengineering]

Yes - if you put a local SQL Express on your computer, it speeds your development immensely. Create your database locally and on Azure, develop locally, simply change your connection string to point to Azure SQL when it is time to migrate to test/production.

Love it, thank you - I will be doing that! @seanmackenziedataengineering

Sean - Thank you for this easy to understand and follow video. I followed all of the steps of creating a free Azure account, then creating the Azure SQL database and putting in content into the database, and then using Visual Studio 2022 to create the web app and publish/deploy it to Azure as a web app. All of the steps seemed to work and be successful, but when I go to the URL for the deployed web app, I still see the message: "Your web app is running and waiting for your content", even 5 days after deploying the web app. Any thoughts? Thank you!

[@lloyddewald3195]

Sean - My Bad!!! I missed the step of publishing the application from Visual Studio to the server. Silly Me! Everything is working now. Thanks again for these videos!!!

[@seanmackenziedataengineering]

I'm glad you figured that one out.. I have also done that many times lol!

[@H4ckPulse]

Nice video thank you

[@seanmackenziedataengineering]

No problem! Stay tuned as there will be much more on this topic. cheers

I love your channel. But I feel you sometimes forget not everyone is as advanced as you. You started the video off nice and slow, showing step by step. But then you gradually sped up until it was like "you then calculate the speed of light here and then the circumference of a black hole. Got that? ok and then we simply quantify the meaning of existence". Still appreciate you making the time for the video in the first place. But, please break this tutorial into sections for some of us whom are still starting out

[@seanmackenziedataengineering]

Great feedback, thanks - I will definitely slow it down on topics like this!
