I want to create a very sinple web site with expression web but I want to be able to deploy it on a non asp.net server. Is this possible or I have to use a asp.net host?
The pages just display images and text. I do not need to do anything with the server.
if you develop a site in Expression web that DOESN'T use ASP.NET, you could publish it on a non-.NET webserver. Expression Web can be used for PHP, ASP, ASP.NET or just plain HTML, the server requirements will be accordingly.

In OutOfProcess hosting model, there are 2 web servers i.e. one internal web server and one external web server. The internal web server is called Kestrel and the external web server can be IIS, Apache, or Nginx.
When Kestrel is the cross-platform web server for the ASP.NET Core application, and support request from all platforms, then what is the use of external web server?
The IIS or apache contains a lot of advanced feature. For example, advanced logging, GUI ,failed request trancing and other feature. It is very easy to configure and find the logs more easily.
The Kestrel need all settings by the codes and if you need special feature, you need to develop by yourself or changing the codes.
I don't understand actually . How to asp.net core application be cross platform?
Is that reason kestrel? I think web server take request and send to Kestrel bla bla. Why them need to Kestrel?
How to asp.net core application be cross platform?
It's common that an application needs a runtime. Java, JS, Python, … you always need something on the target system to make your app work. For asp.net core it's the asp.net core runtime and this runtime is available for many platforms. That's why you can run your app on all of these platforms. See https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/2.2 for available packages.
Is that reason kestrel?
Kestrel is the web server part. (If you write a command line app, you don't need kestrel). You can compare it with e.g. Tomcat in Java.
I think web server take request and send to Kestrel bla bla.
In most situations (except very small setups) we always have a proxy (web) server that takes the request and forwards it to another web server. While both seem to be very similar they have different roles.
Common (but just an example) setup:
Proxy (web) server: Terminate TLS, load balance to multiple backend web servers.
Backend (web) server: Run the application. But focus on this part. No TLS certs to configure, easy to scale,...
Why them need to Kestrel?
Again while some languages / frameworks use modules for existing servers (e.g. PHP) others use separate servers (Java, JS, C#, …). For c# it's the kestrel web host.
With AngularJs + Web API, why we need ASP.NET MVC and IIS?
Can I just use AngularJS plus WEB API to develop a web application without IIS and ASP.NET MVC ?
With AngularJs + Web API, why we need ASP.NET MVC and IIS?
By off-loading all the logic onto the client without providing a server side fallback, you cause the site to break when the JS doesn't load, including for search engine indexing bots.
Can I just use AngularJS plus WEB API to develop a web application without IIS and ASP.NET MVC ?
Yes, it will just be fragile and invisible to search engines.
It is definitely possible from the technology point view. I see 2 areas of concern:
Would clients with outdated browsers have problems accessing the site? This is less of a problem as new versions of browsers are getting released.
Are the non-IIS hosted hosted Web API services robust and scalable enough?
I am new to Windows Azure and I have a question.
I have:
Web site which deployed to Windows Azure - The web site manage a table (add, edit, delete). I used this guide: Deploying an ASP.NET Web Application to a Windows Azure Web Site and SQL Database
Andorid application & iOS Application (Native Code).
Now, I want the mobile applications to get data (in JSON format) from the web site (and from the DB).
What is the best practice to do that?
I tried to create a Azure (WCF) Service (the project refrenced to the web site project) but I didn't succeded. If this is the way - Is anyone knows a good tutorial to do that?
Is there another option? Maybe from the web site itself?
Thank you very much,
Yuval
If you want to integrate with non-Microsoft technologies I suggest you take a look at the ASP.NET Web API which allows you to build REST services using content negotiation. Content negotiation allows your consumer to specify the format it requires (json, xml, ...).
To host the ASP.NET Web API in a Windows Azure Web Site you should take a look at Carlos' blog, he describes in detail what you need to do to make this work: Creating ASP.NET Web APIs on Azure Web Sites
Have you given ASP.NET Web API a look-see?

Is it possible to deploy ASP.NET MVC3 applications onto either a Netduino or .NetGadgeteer? If so how would I go about such a thing?
What I want to do is have a Netduino, connected to a wifi router, that will host an MVC web app.
No, it will not support it. In order to run ASP.Net, you need to have some kind of IIS running. It is quite simple to serve HTML on HTTP on .Net Micro framework, but in order to use ASP, you need either a full fledged IIS server or some kind of embedded ASP server, like the one in Visual Studio (Cassini was the code name, I think).
You basically 4 choices:
Find an embedded ASP server. There is a .net project called aspnetserve that can serve ASP pages, you may be able to port is to the Micro Framework.
Step up to Windows CE, which can host ASP .Net pages.
Serve plain HTML pages that you build on the spot.
Use a templating engine other than ASP and port it to .Net MF if needed
Both Gadgeteer and Netduino run the .Net Micro Framework which will not support an ASP.NET MVC web application.
People have implemented simple web servers inside Netduino.
Do you really need to host the MVC website on your Netduino or do you have a computer/device available to host the website and simply have your controllers communicate directly with the Netduino?
There's a great article on doing exactly this at http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/344471/Using-jQuery-Mobile-with-MVC-and-Netduino-for-Home
