The ASP.NET Web Matrix is a nice, light-weight tool for would-be ASP.NET developers who would rather not fork out $700 for Visual Studio. It lacks Intellisense (an awfully nice feature when you are working with a large framework like .NET) and does not support code-behinds. It is very small (less than 1M) and comes with a nice .NET Framework class browser. I have been playing around with it for two days; thus far I like it a lot. 2:00:52 PM  Google It!

I just read an article over on ASP.NET about Microsoft's all .NET HTTP Server - named Cassini. Why is this interesting? Well, for starters it shows how you can easily host your own light-weight http server. Second, a .NET-based server should be immune to buffer overrun attacks (since the CLR is watching for array indexing errors). Finally, it might make a great host for web services (without some of the other overhead that IIS introduces for a general purpose site). Download Cassini. 1:55:55 PM
