Who this book is for
If you have a core set of C# programming
skills, the kind you should get from any beginning book
like Murach's C# 2008, you're ready for
this book. In fact, we're confident that it will teach
you ASP.NET faster and better than any competing book.
That's true whether you're new to web programming or
you're coming to it with a background in ASP.NET, classic
ASP, or Java servlets/JSP.
If you have the 2.0 edition of this book...
ASP.NET has matured into a stable platform for web
development. So there aren't the major, fundamental
changes in 3.5 that there were in 2.0.
Even so, this 3.5 edition offers you:
- a new chapter on the ListView and DataPager controls
- a new chapter on LINQ data sources
- a new chapter on AJAX
- expanded material on object data sources
- coverage of new CSS-related tools
- updated material from start to finish
As a result, we recommend you get a copy of this new
edition. It will easily pay for itself, both in training
you to take advantage of 3.5 features and in providing
you with an up-to-date reference you'll keep close at
hand.
