ASP.NET 3.5 is arguably the fastest, most efficient, most reliable, and best-supported way to create interactive web applications today. When you combine ASP .NET 3.5 with the development tools available from Microsoft today (both free and commercial), it’s incredibly easy to create web sites that look great and perform well. But best of all, most of the “plumbing” (security, data access, layout, and so on) is done for you.
With their new book, Learning ASP.NET 3.5, mastering these technologies becomes incredibly easy, too. You’ll learn how to create engaging and interactive web applications using the latest version of the world’s most popular web development platform: ASP.NET with AJAX, built on the productivity-enhancing features of Visual Studio 2008, and all you need to get started is a basic knowledge of HTML and a desire to produce professional quality websites.
Learning ASP.NET 3.5, introduces new skills in each new chapter and offers fully annotated and fully functional examples that you can put to work immediately. Each chapter adds detailed summaries, practice questions to ensure comprehension, and exercises so you can apply what you’ve learned to new situations. The book includes:
• Chapters that are designed as a series of tutorials on different aspects of web development
• Examples in each chapter that illustrate how a new concept works. Different chapters feature either a single running example with several stages, or a series of smaller examples
• A single large example in the final chapter offers that uses everything the reader has learned
• VB, JavaScript, and SQL Cheat Sheet sidebars to help readers with no little or no background with those topics
• AJAX-style fully integrated into ASP.NET programming—the way it should be taught and used
• If you want to get up to speed with the world’s most popular web development technology, Learning ASP.NET 3.5, is the best resource for the job.
