If you can create Windows applications using C#, you're
ready for this book.
It will get you off to a fast start with web programming,
no matter whether you're coming to ASP.NET 3.5 with
a background in an earlier release of ASP.NET, classic
ASP, or Java servlets/JSP...or with no web background
at all.
In fact, by the end of chapter 4, you'll know how to
use Visual Studio 2008 to develop and test multi-page
database applications for the web. No other ASP.NET
book gets you started that fast.
But this book is more than a beginning book. By the
time you're done, you'll have the professional skills
you need to develop bullet-proof web applications for
business. 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 book teaches you so much
of what you'll use every day...or so thoroughly.
Everything you need to know to get going on web development
Look at the table of contents,
and you'll see why we say that this book covers what
you need to know to develop web applications at the
professional level. That includes new 3.5 features like:
- Tools that make it easier to format web pages based
on cascading style sheets (CSS)
- LINQ data sources that allow you to access data
from any type of data source, not just databases
- The ListView and DataPager controls that allow for
complex data handling that you couldn't do before
(one reviewer refers to them as "GridView and Repeater
on steroids," if you're familiar with those 2.0 controls)
- ASP.NET AJAX basics that show you the benefits so
you're ready for indepth AJAX training
Of course, it blends those new features with the classic
features that still apply to any ASP.NET application:
State management...data validation…database handling
with SQL and object data sources...using master pages,
themes, and site navigation features to create user-friendly
interfaces…security…login controls to authenticate users…email
handling...back-button control...reusable user and custom
server controls...web services...site customization
using profiles and web parts...deployment...and more!
3 reasons why this is the ASP.NET 3.5 book 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 C# 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 2008 as you develop your applications. This
IDE is one of the keys to development productivity,
yet many books neglect it after the first couple of
chapters or ignore it entirely.
- 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.
