With ASP.NET 2.0, Microsoft made some dramatic
improvements to an already-good product. The 2.0 edition
is packed with features that help developers add functionality
and quality to their web applications more easily than
ever before.
The trick, of course, is learning how to use ASP.NET
2.0 the way the top Visual Basic developers do. And
that's where this book comes in.
Whether you're coming to ASP.NET 2.0 with a background
in ASP.NET 1.x, classic ASP, or Java servlets/JSP...or
with no web background at all...this book will get you
off to a fast start. In fact, by the end of chapter
4, you'll know how to use Visual Studio 2005 to develop
and test multi-page database applications. No other
ASP.NET 2.0 book gets you started that fast.
But this is much more than a beginning book. By the
time you're done, you'll have all the skills you need
to develop web applications at the professional level.
You'll also find that this book does double duty as
the best on-the-job reference book that money can buy.
No other ASP.NET 2.0 book teaches you so much or
so thoroughly.
Everything you need to get going on
business web development
Look at the table of
contents, and you'll see why we say that this book
includes everything you need to develop professional
web applications. That includes 2.0 features like:
Master pages… database access using both SQL and
object data sources… the new code-behind model…
site navigation features… login controls to authenticate
users… profiles to personalize a site… themes
to customize formatting elements… and web parts,
the building blocks of portals that can be customized
by the user
Of course, it also includes the features that apply
to any web application:
State management… data validation… database
handling… user-friendly interfaces… HTML essentials…
security… email handling… back-button control…
deployment… reusable user and custom server controls…
web services… and more!
It's all there, so you won't have to buy 3 or 4 books
to get the breadth of material you need.
Why this is the ASP.NET 2.0 book you'll
want to get first
- To make sure that you learn ASP.NET as quickly and
easily as possible, all of its features are presented
in the context of complete applications. That includes
the web forms, the aspx code, and the VB code. We've
found that applications like these are the key to
mastery of web development…but you won't find
them in most competing books.
- To save you time and effort on repetitive chores,
this book shows you how to get the most from Visual
Studio 2005 as you develop your applications. This
IDE is one of the keys to development productivity,
yet many books still ignore or neglect it.
- If you download
a free chapter, you'll see that all of the information
is presented in "paired pages," with the essential
syntax, guidelines, and examples on the right page
and the perspective and extra explanation on the left
page. This not only helps you learn faster by reading
less, but is also the best reference format that you'll
find anywhere.
