Linking asp/asp.net to website

B

Billy G

I am using Frontpage to design a financial website, how do I use asp/asp.net
to link to website, so that existing clients can see their own account
information? Thanks.

Thanks clintonG

I can't hack it on my own, the asp.net jargon is something that I have
picked up as I have tried to gain knowledge. I must say I'm getting fed up
going around in circles!
With me you must imagine that I know very little indeed about computing. I
have done a client table in Access which I have made up. Now suppose these
are real cllients, how would they access their account information from my
website having filled in their details such as username and password. How is
all of this linked up....and it must be step by step for me to understand it
all. Thanks.

Oh gosh. I'd sure love it if you were responsible for my financial
information. Where do I sign up?

It ain't gonna happen step-by-step. Too much to explain. This stuff takes a
long time to learn and master and a lot of frustrating failures along the
way. You just be aware of that as that's how the web development learning
curve works. Until you start getting a grip on this you are best advised to
hire out the coding and work at your own level with layout and so on until
you acquire competencies.

Thanks clintonG for sensible advice. What starting point would suggest,
asp.net 2.0 version? Where do I aquire this. As for the other unhelpful
postings knowing a lot about derivative trading on the stock market is no
training for web design. Like you I'm glad of any help received along the way.

Exactly!

Particularly when the derivative trading person is planning to make to make
financial info available to the world.

You are going to attempt to display a user's financial data on the web
You need to consider all the requirements for data security, and user privacy, and liability for invalid for disclosure of that data
to unauthorized users (and hackers)

If you are not extremely comfortable with all the technologies and requirements needed, I strongly suggest you engage a professional
who is and don't attempt to do it on your own

ASP.net is just one of the tools you may (or may not) use, but you will also need to select an appropriate database technology, and
server site security methods and technologies

Well Billy, as you have not cared to explain -- not that its always
pertinent to do so -- nobody who has been responding knows the context of
the financial information you are interested in making available. I usually
do not take the time to rationalize or make apologies for my ignorant peers
as they can make @sses of themselves without my help even though I know they
will not not can not argue that I often show them how to do it "the right
way." :)

That said, if you think you are on to something why not seek out somebody
off-line to discuss your ideas with? As for how to learn and where to
start -- web development -- I must recall the advice of given to Alice [1]
when she asked the same question and was told by the Mad Hatter to "start at
the beginning."

ASP.NET development is a state-of-the-art web development methodology that
you can start reading about at http://msdn.microsoft.com. Many books have
been published and there are thousands of articls published on the web. To
become professionally competent you'll also have to learn and master HTML,
JavaScript, and CSS.

FrontPage is not a panacea. In fact it is antithetical to web development in
many regards. The spawn of Satan. Dreamweaver too. This because these types
of "authoring" products attempt to automate the complexity of developing
software programs that run on the web. When all is said and done that's what
most websites need to become; software programs.

On the other hand, FrontPage is a great tool to create and publish basic web
pages that just about anybody can learn to do well. In the hands of a well
seasoned web developer who has in fact mastered web development FrontPage
can also be used quite successfully as a software development tool. Most of
those I refer to have various professional competencies and rarely if ever
rely on the push button monkey code generators which lead to a dead end
faster than spitting into the wind. This stuff is crippleware and the nature
of computer science and programming languages guarantees there will never be
an authoring program that can be used to design and generate a software
program of any reasonable complexity.

Because I nor anybody else actually knows or understands what you actually
want to achieve not much else can be said Billy. Perhaps a blog for example
is all you need to make financial information availabe. Again, I don't know
the context, the scale or the scope of your aspirations.

All I can tell you is I can rationalize copying and pasting code snippets
when I have them, from time to time I write code on the fly to help people
out. I reply to many newsgroup articles offering opinions as well as sage
advice. All on my dime.

To be honest I also do so as an act of good will to motivate people to hire
me. If that's a matter of consideration I (and others if I may speak for
them in this matter) would ask you to fish or cut bait. Someone involved
with financial matters should one can reasonably expect understand these
principles as I've tried to convey them.
