I have just downloaded Visual Web Developer and unsure of how it works

Hi,

I am reading through the book “Build Your Own ASP.NET 3.5 WEB SITE Using C# and VB”. It advises me to download the Visual Web Developer package which I have done. When I attempt to start a new website through templates it loads up but it is not a correct template. It seems to take me to a welcome page??? It also just states ‘Databases’ on the right hand side instead of App_Data etc…

What am I doing incorrect? I want to be able to design whilst being offline.

Couls someone please help me before I throw my laptop out of the window!!!

Thanks
Ash
