Web Matrix and VS.NET have some things in common, but Web Matrix is aimed at
those who code in their page rather than those who use the CodeBehind
paradigm. This makes it a bit simpler, from a project standpoint, but has
the downside of training users to blend code with tags rather than create
separate functions.
