Visual Studio comes in two flavors: as a standalone and free version called Microsoft Visual
Studio Express 2012 for Web, and as part of the larger development suite called Visual Studio
2012, which is also available in different editions, each with its own price tag. With the commercial
editions of Visual Studio, the web components are fully integrated. You just start Visual Studio
2012 and then create a Web Site Project or a Web Application Project, which in turn enables the
web components of Visual Studio.
