Programming ASP.NET: Building Web Applications and Services with ASP.NET 2.0

by Jesse Liberty, Dan Hurwitz

O'Reilly has once again updated its bestselling tutorial on ASP.NET, the world's leading web development tool from Microsoft. In "Programming ASP.NET," Third Edition, authors Jesse Liberty and Dan Hurwitz give you the lowdown on the technology's latest version, ASP.NET 2.0, as well as Visual Studio 2005.Among the most significant improvements to ASP.NET 2.0 are new server controls and services that make you dramatically more productive. In fact, when compared to its predecessor, ASP.NET 2.0 reduces the amount of code you have to write by about 75%. Creating interactive web applications has never been easier-but that still doesn't mean it's hassle-free! The difficulty in ASP.NET 2.0 is that it's so complete and flexible that there are many pieces that must be woven together to build a robust, scalable, and efficient application.Fortunately, "Programming ASP.NET," Third Edition is on the case, dispensing all the information you need to be effective with this dynamic tool. For starters, the book features a comprehensive tutorial on Web Forms, the user interface that gives web applications their look and feel. It then offers detailed explanations of all new controls, including web server controls, HTML controls, and custom controls. Used properly, these controls are able to take care of nearly all the foundation work-security, data access, layout, etc.-that you would normally have to write yourself. Free of these burdensome tasks, you can instead focus on your specific application.Other new material found in this updated edition even shows you how to create ASP.NET 2.0 pages for mobile devices. With "Programming ASP.NET," Third Edition at your side, there's virtually no end to the programming possibilities.

Pacing and Rhythm The pacing of the story is moderate, neither too fast nor too slow. It gives the reader enough time to process the information before moving on to the next section. There is a clear sense of progression as the chapters unfold. To see the estimated reading time for each section, click here. >>> https://script.google.com/macros/s/AK...

Wrote this review years after reading the textbook.

Was good, useful for what it was supposed to do.

College book.

What could I say... a framework book that doesn't really explain the framework just it's components...
