  Security Headaches? Take ASP.NET 2.0!
Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Robert Stein

New security features are an important improvement in ASP.NET 2.0. These features include membership services that manage a database of user accounts, hashed passwords, a role manager for managing role membership for users, and five new server-side controls that make implementing forms authentication much easier. ASP.NET 2.0 also offers a provider model that gives you complete control over the implementation of the Membership and Role services and cookieless forms authentication. You also get easy Web-based administration for simple local and remote administration of user accounts and roles, as well as enhanced control of other non-security related settings.

"But if [security] is the sole reason for putting the weight of the government and major corporations behind Linux, the developers may need to rethink their strategy, at least according to some analysts. A report by Forrester indicates Linux and Windows are equally secure -- so a move to Linux for purely security-related reasons might not be the soundest strategy. "

"The research consultancy then created metrics to measure how well each operating system vendor responded with fixes to vulnerabilities. Forrester found Microsoft did the best job at patching vulnerabilities quickly, with RedHat, Debian and MandrakeSoft far behind."

ASP.net is a server side scripting framework that uses c# and vb.net (is it all the clr languages too?) as the languge that does runtime like code execution on the web server (now that's not true with.net...but an overview). Too some extent, it is integrated into frontpage...but visual studio is the prime enviroment to develop web apps.

You can learn more at http://asp.net and you can download VS Lite for asp.net (aka Matrix) for free.
