IIS 7.5 Intensive Learning Camp
Today I’ve just upgraded my knowledge as one of my clients requires .NET 4.0 and I spent the whole day to make sure W2K8R2 is securely configured for individual client running .NET 4.0 applications. I found my knowledge from the old W2K3 days still applied very well, people say the foundation is the most important couldn’t be more true!
I found even with my existing knowledge, it’s particular easy to work on W2K8R2’s new feature, things like set ACL, configureIIS, FTP (didn’t like it, switched to Mozilla Server), .NET 4.0, as well as setting up FASTCGI PHP, we can finally say Windows Server has reached a status being called a reliable platform for hosting serious applications!
One thing I do not like is the new GUI, too many clicks, I prefer everything stays in one Panel using Tabs, may be there is a way to switch back to the classic GUI, if you know, please drop me a line, thanks!
