JavaScript Workshop » ASP.NET Behind the Scenes - Video Tutorials

If you are using my online ASP.NET Workshop to learn the basics of creating web applications using ASP.NET, one of the lessons that often gets overlooked by the novice (including me) is how does the ASP.NET architecture work behind the scenes. Although learning this may seem a bit too technical or unnecessary since all you want to do is create some dynamic web pages, it is worth taking a brief look at least at these informative videos.

ASP.NET is a complicated architecture compared to other server-side technologies and knowing a little bit more of what happens "behind-the-scenes" will definitely help you when you start creating more intricate and complicated web applications.
