Completely new to this. I have some experience with script, html and css. I need to write a website for my parents small biz, so please be patient!

1. What languages are supported in ASP .NET 2.0? Where can I find a complete list?

2. The way I understand it, the code and data will be hosted on multiple servers. What happens if User A accesses the site through Server 1 and writes to a file. Then User B accesses the site but he hits server 2 and now he needs to read the same file. How does this work? How is the data dynamically replicated across servers?

This must be a very common problem. They want a forum on their site so I am sure this is not a hard thing to do, but for some reason I cannot figure out how this happens.

3. Does web-development require creating threads/processes? I was never able to understand this stuff in college and have only dabbled in it slightly. Why would a web app need to launch a process?

These are silly questions but hope someone can help! Thanks!

The language supported by .net are

C#,VB,J#.JScript etc

question 1:

ASP.NET supports VB, C# and J#.

question 2:

when you talk about multiple servers it does not mean that your website has files distributed over both servers. What it means is that you may have your .aspx files on server A but your database on server B.

You declare connection strings, data adapters etc to connect to databases to retrieve the data you want. To understand this look at the link below and read up on how the ASP.NET architecture works.

question 3:

Look at the link. Also get a hold of a beginner's level .NET book. Most of the coding is done in C# nowadays.
