WebMatrix is a web development platform from Microsoft aimed at providing a fast and lightweight way
to develop dynamic web content. The WebMatrix platform consists of many individual component parts
that go together to create a complete web development environment. Throughout the course of this
book you will learn about each of these component parts in some detail.
This chapter is not concerned with the inner-workings of the platform or its individual components,
but is focused on explaining the landscape in which WebMatrix exists. It will aim to explain the intent
behind the design of WebMatrix and the problems it sets out to solve.
