Microsoft has announced a complete web development package called WebMatrix.

WebMatrix is everything you need to build a static or dynamic website – the package encompasses IIS Developer Express (a dev webserver), ASP.NET (web framework) and SQL Server Compact (embedded database).

The package integrates code editor, database editor, web server management, SEO, and FTP publishing, allowing you to seamlessly build, develop and deploy your web project.

WebMatrix provides an easy way to get started with Web development. With an integrated code editor and a database editor, Web site and server management, search optimization, FTP publishing, and more, WebMatrix provides a fresh, new Web site development experience which seamlessly bridges all the key components you need in order to create, run, and deploy a Web site.

WebMatrix is currently in Beta testing; however it is freely available for Windows users – Give it a spin!
