A while back I wrote a LOOOOONG article about ASP.NET Compilation and Deployment for Code Magazine and today I got my copy in the mail that has the article in it. The article can be found online here as well:

http://www.code-magazine.com/Article.aspx?quickid=0609061

but you have to be a subscriber to read it at the moment – articles become publically available after a few months.

The article covers a lot of ground and goes into detail on how the page parsing and compilation process works in Stock projects as well as comparing stock projects to Web Application projects. The article also talks about compilation and deployment and various and complicated modes available for all of that.

I have to thank my editor Rod Paddock for putting this monster into the magazine as a single continuous article <s>. It wouldn’t be the first time I’ve submitted an overly long article, but this one probably has them all beat.

Anyway check it out, if you’re curious about the whole compilation deployment process, which if you are building Web application is fairly essential.
