Should i learn some sort of CMS if i'm serious abaout web developpement or can asp.net do job?

[Jensen bredal]

Hello,
I'm quiet confuse after i attended a CMS course. I'm building web apps using
asp.net and having looked at the version 2 of asp.net , i doubt wehter it is
stil necessary to learn cms.
The features in asp.net 2.0 are very very closed (in my opinion) to what you
get through a cms system. And you don have to learn any new language .

Can someone tell me if i misunderstood something about CMS?

Many thanks in advance

Hi Jensen:

It depends on your requirements.

Certainly you can build a CMS in ASP.NET. Do a few google searches and
you'll even find some free open source apps that might meet your
needs.

The questions is how much time and money will it take to build and
maintain the features you require compared to how much time and money
will it take to purchase, install, learn, customize, and maintain a
new CMS system. It's a simple equation

Well, the theory you learn in a CMS course could help you build better and
more maintable website. But just be aware that companies use all sorts of
content management systems... so the concepts and theories are probably
more important than the technical details.
