IIS – An Introduction

In my last post I gave a small intro about Visual Studio. This time I come with the small introduction about IIS (Internet information Services), which is formerly called as Internet Information Server. Of course, it’s also Microsoft implementation. IIS is the second web server, used next to Appache Web server. IIS is an integral part of Windows, which means IIS comes as a built in package. By default, the IIS feature not installed in Windows OS, user must install the necessary components. As it name implies, it is a Web server. A web server receives the request/requests and serves the output to the client. Typically, the output is in HTML format.
