Is there no pre-made tutorials type site already on the net where you could simply slot in the content without having to build anything?

Not sure if this will have what he needs, but the ASP .NET starter Kits are pretty nice, especially when one is first diving in to programming sites. http://www.asp.net/community/projects/[^]

Hey, developer community! I would like to know if anyone knows of good "tips" out there - things you can "always" try to help diagnose problems of various natures. For example: -- Web sites mysteriously shutting down -- Services frozen -- Application permissions For instance, some generic things one might like to do regardless of the technology, is to check: -- Application Event log -- Server Event log -- Application-specific logging directories -- W3C logs Does anyone else have a list of tips and tricks as to some "basic" things to "always" look for? I am a .NET developer, but all of the problems I have troubleshooting come from when it's more of a "server-related" type of problem - but it always seems to start with the developer: Why can't I log in to your application today? Why did the server shut down between X and Y times? Thanks in advance for any tips anyone can provide. Sue :-D
