Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 (Part 4 of 4): ASP.NET 2.0 Configuration and Deployment

Listening to Fritz Onion of PluralSight.com. He's the guru.

Missed quite a bit of it (had a work meeting just before that ran overtime. Don't you hate it when that happens?)

Just learned what is meant by a "binary deployment." It means putting only the .DLLs on the Web Server, rather than the individual .ASPX web pages. This is useful for preventing unauthorised editing of the Web Pages (by other developers).
