    Hello everybody, I m learning C# for some months now through Coursera ,microsoft virtual academy and learnvisualstudio.net and I m a little confused about ASP.NET.I have developed some sites in weebly but there were some limitations.So my question is can I built a site totally in C# front end and back end .I thought C# can only do the back end tasks and I m confused about ASP.Net what can do ,is and what languages has in it.Should I learn html also with C#?The thing is that sometimes customers want to add new contents on their sites easily so I want them to give them that option.Thank you a lot .

      The content that is supplied to the browser is HTML and JavaScript. You really should learn that. The C# side runs at the server end and, while you can generate HTML content from that, it is definitely helpful if you know how to code up in JavaScript as well.

        Server end is different from back end ?Isn't C# the main language of ASP.NET?

          ASP.NET code runs entirely on the web server. It generates the HTML that is sent to the browser. "Front end" refers to code on the server that generates the HTML. It can also refer to either browser-side code, mainly javascript and HTML. "Back end" usually refers to some data store, like a SQL database, and the code that interacts with it. This code is sometimes called "middleware". ASP.NET code can be written in any language that targets the .NET Framework, not just C# though it's the most popular.

            So as I understand and thank you all for that I will learn html and C#.I will be ready then to make a site.Probably html is for the design like buttons tabs etc (like xaml is for WPF)and C# is what runs back like storing passwords moving to pages etc.Thank you all again.Glad we have tools like that cause when I was in college before 14 years you should write a lot of code for simple stuff.
