getting started with advanced web development / getting started with IIS

For decades I have compiled desktop EXE applications. These EXE applications were always small utilities, not resource hungry.

The World has changed. Tasks are now centralised using internet browsers and web pages (intranets and internet).

I need to change. My development product must now be within/behind web pages.

I watched some tutorial videos on ASP/MVC. I did some code, started new Projects and all works well in Visual Studio 2013 Professional for as long as the Project server is set to “IIS Express”.

BUT…

When I change the server setting to “Local IIS” I encounter problems.

I need to learn about:

• IIS Application Pool identity
• Enable Request tracing in IIS

 Is there a specific Microsoft course focused on my “missing knowledge” – probably IIS setup/configuration for developers?

 Or maybe a book?

 Thanks for reading,

 Kevin.
