Need Help Starting

[JustXtreme]

Hello all,

I'm about to start a new project, really my first with asp.net. i've built a few simple pages with .net but never a full web app. i currently write in asp but it has now been requested to start a new app in asp.net. my question is where do i start, do you guys have any great sites on starting new web apps with .net. I would really like to stay organized with this project and code with great efficiency. the only reason i'm accepting this project is because there isn't a time requirement for it. I'm sure i'm going to be on this forum a lot with questions, this being the first of many :).
thanx for the help

First of all, I would look into the design your achitecture, business requirements, thinking about the objects you'll require (it needs to be fully oop) and code it in C#. Assuming it'll be a database driven site, look into separating you're presentation, business logic, and data access layers (so Google 3-tier design). Have a look at Scott Guthrie's blog also (http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/default.aspx).

Have fun

Typically after understanding the Requirements or the business/application, and what the desired outcomes are, I would start by grouping utilities, and designing the master page/s so everything else falls within these realms,

Utility sets can be developed after creating a few projects, stuff like database handling classes, cookie, security, simple design classes, date handling classes and some favoured web controls. Might sound a bit of a stretch, but if you keep in mind that a lot of coding is done time and time again and develop anything and Everything you think could be used for other applications, you'll be heading in the right direction, and as time progresses these utilities will give you more time to focus on other areas improving the quality of your programs.

I also usually create the master page before I code anything that isn't already an asset, so I can visualize how things will work,
