This book teaches you how to create your own dynamic websites using the free products DotNetNuke 4.0 and Visual Web Developer 2005 Express. It's a book for beginners and hobbyists, people who don't necessarily have a deep understanding of computer systems, but who never the less want to get the job done and create a website that will be of value to their lives or businesses. After reading this book, and for no additional outlay, they will be able to create a website on their computer that is virtually indistinguishable from one that cost thousands from a professional firm. All they need to do then is host it.

Nick Symmonds works for the Integrated System Solutions division of Ingersoll-Rand, developing and integrating security software. He started his professional life as an electronics technician. While getting his bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from the University of Hartford, he started to gravitate toward programming. Nick has spent quite a few years programming in assembly, C, C++, and Visual Basic. Recently, he has latched onto .NET like a lamprey and loves digging into the .NET core. Nick has written several articles on programming and has three books out: Internationalization and Localization Using Microsoft .NET (Apress, 2002), GDI+ Programming in C# and VB .NET (Apress, 2002), and Data Entry and Validation with C# and VB .NET Windows Forms (Apress, 2003). He lives with his family in the northwest hills of Connecticut and has recently become addicted to golf and road cycling. He also enjoys woodworking, hiking, and exploring the hills on his motorcycle.
