Neki osnovni pojmovi :
An application pool is a separate worker space that lets your website run separately from others.
In IIS 7 and above – a site contains one or more applications, an application contains one or more virtual directories, and a virtual directory maps to a physical directory on a computer.
The default document is the web page that loads when the user types just your domain name into the browser (usually index.html for a static site or default.aspx for web forms).
Connection strings define database connections. Each type of connection string is determined by the database your website is connecting to. You can set the connection string in IIS or in the application. Most applications set the connection string in the application code.
ASP – active server pages
ISAPI – Internet Server Application Program Interface
