Getting Ready

We must do some preparation before we can start working with ASP.NET. In the following sections, I’ll tell you what you need.

I have split the preparation into two sections. You’ll need to install a couple of additional components when you reach the part of the book that deals with the part of ASP.NET called the MVC framework. The rest of ASP.NET is installed as part of Visual Studio and .NET 4, but you need an update and an additional third-party library to get the best from the MVC framework.
