Installing Microsoft WebMatrix 2 Beta

Attended a Microsoft Web Camp recently focused on WebMatrix, Html5 and Css3. My first bits of experience with the tool. Will be installing Web Matrix 2.0 beta.

• Start with the download here.
• With the Web Platform Installer 4.0,  the installation is not much trouble.

Microsoft WebMatrix

Have really been intrigued recently by this brand new web development tool from Microsoft that supposedly includes everything we need for our website development including some built in templates. The thing I like most is the open source web applications that we can use to start the website development. And last but not the least, its FREE. More can be found at microsoft/web/. Will be posting more on this.
