This site has been created with Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition.
I followed the principle "use the most complicated method for even the simplest things". So, I wrote every piece of code from the beginning.
I also designed it on my own - probably not a very good idea. That is why I ended up with such a minimalistic design.
The whole site is based on one aspx page whose content is dynamically fed from xml files.
I used xml-xslt to create the menus but then decided to dynamically construct the menus too with aspx.vb code.
My intention, for the future, is to extend this site to a web application, with all content stored in an MS SQL database,
containing functionalities such as news, automatic registering of new users, users log in, forum etc supported by a content management system.
