Hello World, I recently was asked by a client to develop a suppliers web portal (if it´s ok to say so in english). I don´t have much experience in developing web apps, only studies about NET environment (VB and C#).
Of course I can find information to help myself to do so, but I really appreciate if somebody give hints about where can I search for samples, code, ideas, concepts in order to save time.

Thanks in advance

I´ve trying to gather information about how to solve my problem.

I know you didn't Google for "ASP.NET tutorials" because you would have come up with millions of results.

Start at ASP.NET | The ASP.NET Site[^].

But, seriously, you're going to have a hard time with this if you haven't done any web applications before. There are tons of conventions you have to learn and you're just not going to pick up this stuff from a few web tutorials. This is going to take a long time to learn and you would be better served going through books on ASP.NET instead.

Glad to get in touch with you again,Dave. Yes, I have not much experience in developing web apps in the field, but I have a good amount of studies about the net environment and I had practiced it a lot by studying. What I really would like to find is a good example of a web portal already in use, and if it´s posible to Access the code and components, it would be better.
if it´s not posible, well, I´m going to convey that to my client and ask him for more time. Eventually, I´d think about not accept the Project, until I learn enough about it.

Thank you very much.

Yeah, well a "web portal" is a generic term that can cover a wide range of functionality. Nobody is going to just hand over their code for their own portal. You're also going to have to get with the customer and spec out exactly what they mean by "web portal" and exactly what functionality they want.

You can study the .NET Framework all you want. You're not going to get any closer to writing an ASP.NET app. The .NET Framework does not cover any of the conventions ASP.NET uses and there's a lot of them. You need to study ASP.NET itself. Actually, I'd add MVC to that as well. You might find things a bit easier that way.

Thanks a lot Dave. I think it would be better to call it a Web App. With the functionality: Add new vendors - Send a e-mail to confirm registration to the new ones - Post or Upload their invoices - Schedule the payments - notify the vendor of invoices acceptation - and maybe generate an electronic transference to their accounts and cancel the invoice.

maybe it good be a good idea to see each one of these tasks individually first.

You're really not going to find examples of each of these specific things. You have to learn the more general and simpler examples and then you develop things like this yourself.

Ok, Dave. I really appreciate your comments.

A question: When you enter this page, are you able to see the other commnets and answers other people send me ?

Yes, even if they are "deleted".

Solution 2

Just to get you started.
Here is a site where you can learn languages about web dev building bricks: html, css, js, xml, php, sql.
W3Schools Online Web Tutorials[^]

Unfortunately, mastering web dev is much more than a couple of ideas or hints. Just mastering the languages and concepts of w3shool site will take some time.
Without knowing your background, it will be difficult to give better advices, remember that some people are programmers because the do Excel sheets.

PS: in any case, I recommend to handover the web project to a colleague already skilled in web dev, because there is no way you can get skilled enough in the time frame of the project.

Thanks a lot for your answer and advice, my friend. I am a experienced programmer but with lack of experience in web apps, but I have a good amount of studies about NET environment and I´ve developed several web applications just for practice.
I have 67 year old and Thanks God I am still required for projects. I have a lot experience in deskstop applications, and the only reason why I haven´t developed web apps in the field is because my clients haven´t asked me to develop those.
When I noticed that web apps where getting in the programming market I was already in my fifties, you don´t have idea of how much I´ve trying to put myself updated, but I was not being payed for that.
What I think can help me is too get in touch with a portal already done to take ideas about the design, and if it could be posible, access the code and components.
