Introductions!

Hello all.  My name is Ryan and I am attempting to be a web developer.  I plan on using this blog to document some of the BS I come across when using some of these newer techs in execution.  I'm not a huge fan of big words or "hot words" so please don't be offended.  I'm also very likely to be INCREDIBLY WRONG *ALL* THE TIME.  Please take these posts at face value.  This blog is going to relate to stuff encountered while in development of a new project.  The project is looking to make a fully functioning, for-profit site using the motto of "use the free stuff".  I am a .NET developer at heart and I don't want to stray too far from there, but since I don't want to buy Team Foundation Server ( TFS ) and the full version of Visual Studio 2010 ( VS 2010 ).   This blog is meant to help iron out some of the things that I've worked through, but also open it up for anyone searching the net that may be able to provide better solutions for the future or other users.
