Web Platform In Action: Creating Websites Using WordPress, Expression, and Microsoft Technologies

In this video series, you will learn how to develop and customize a WordPress website entirely based on the Microsoft Web Platform using technologies like Windows Server, IIS, Silverlight, Bing Maps and Expression. This video series has been inspired by a French cottage with a website that offers their visitors an interactive photo album, an immersive tourism and cottage visit, a pre-reservation system and an itinerary solution.

In this video series, we will go through the steps required to install, deploy and enrich your site on top of WordPress.

  • The Web Platform Installer offers a quick and easy access to IIS, WordPress and the Search Engine Optimization toolkit for the web fundamentals of your site
  • Expression Web is used to customize the HTML/CSS presence and run some Cross Browser Compatibility checking
  • The Internet Explorer 8 Developer Toolbar gives web developers the opportunity to debug scripts and behaviors
  • Internet Explorer 8 WebSlices allow visitors to stay informed with site updates
  • Expression Blend and Silverlight offer an unique way to enrich your site with interactive content such as interactive photo album and immersive experience
  • Bing Maps enriched the Cottage site to geographically guide visitors and build itineraries
