Argotic on the Web: Part 2 (Setup)
Continued from Argotic on the Web: Part 1 (Solution Design)...
Prerequisites:
1. Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition (direct link)
We'll use this to design the website that we'll be building for the creation of RSS feeds. The project will reference the Argotic library and will be end up being hosted on a GoDaddy shared server.
2. Microsoft Visual C# 2005 Express Edition (direct link)
We'll use this to create the RSS reader. The Windows Forms application will be used to read data from the website's RSS feeds (view.aspx).
3. Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition (direct link)
We'll use this to create a Database and Table for the Users table. We can test the SQL server statements on our own machines before we post the website to GoDaddy.
4. SQL Server Management Studio Express Edition (direct link)
This will be our administrative interface for the local SQL server. We'll code up the website against the local SQL server before we upload it to the server through FTP.
5. Argotic (direct link)
This is the library we'll be using to create (feed) and consume (read) the feeds published by our ArgoticWebSample.
Optional Setup Items
5. A GoDaddy shared hosting account (direct link)
We can set up a GoDaddy shared hosting account that will be used for hosting our web application. After we set up our hosting, we can upload from our computer to the website.
6. CoreFTP (direct link)
We'll use this to upload to the GoDaddy server.
This wraps up part 2 to the ArgoticWebSample. Next we'll be diving into the implementation of the Feeder and Reader.
