Just received the ASP.net 4 24 hour training book. I have the Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate version.

The book states that we should start with installing and setting up the Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2010 Express. Is this necessary or am I already set up with what I have.

Thanks for input. Do not want to install extra software if it isn't needed for fear of conflicts and confusion.

Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate version.will work fine without installing the free Express version. You may have a few more options in your version not discussed in the book but there shouldn't be anything in the book you can't do.

You can use any version. However, the screenshots will not match and there will be additional items on the menus.

A rich editor that allows you to work with HTML and CSS in source view, design view or both using split-view
Powerful debugging support for ASP.NET, C#, VB as well as JavaScript
Support for application frameworks like ASP.NET MVC, AJAX, Silverlight and third party libraries like jQuery
Built-in support for FTP-based Web deployment and database deployment
Intellisense features such as syntax highlighting and auto-completion that help improve productivity
Ability to test your Web applications instantly with the integrated Web server or IIS

The newer version is way better than the old one..it has quite great features than the previous version..the editing option is improved and to work on it is absolutely pleasure.
