HTML in ASP.NET MVC

Question

Hi all,

Asp.net is my first incursion into web development using server side tech. The last time I used HTML was when tables where used for rendering and CSS was a dream. I know the usual tags but I've come across some like <form /> and <input />.

I haven't used these or CSS before. I am running under the impression that these are standard HTML tags and not asp.net specific, so the question is.

Is there a book that you recommend to structure HTML output using these tags and CSS?

Also anyone know of a resource to learn about GET/POST as I haven't ran into these concepts before.

Answer 1

For books:

• Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML
• HTML, XHTML, and CSS All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies

If you want to get familiar with tags quickly I can also suggest w3school's html tutorials.

Answer 2

a very basic online tutorial but very helpful

HTML Forms and Input by w3schools
