As the publisher, I d like you to know the reasons why I think you ll learn
how to develop web applications with Microsoft ASP.NET faster and better from this book than any other on the
Unlike many of the competing ASP.NET books, this one shows you how
to get the most from Microsoft s Visual Studio .NET as you develop your
applications. We ve found that this Integrated Development Environment is
one of the keys to development productivity, but many books ignore or
neglect it.
To show you how all of the pieces of a web application interact,
this book presents 23 complete applications ranging from the simple to the
complex. This includes the forms, the code, and whatever else is needed to
give you the complete picture of how the applications work. As we see it,
the only way to master web programming is to study applications like these.
And yet, you won t find them in most other books.
All of the applications in this book use the code-behind programming
technique to separate the application s logic from its presentation details.
Although this is one of the most important ASP.NET programming techniques,
most ASP.NET books treat it as an afterthought.
If you page through this book, 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 helps you learn faster by reading
less...and this is the best reference format for refreshing your memory
about how to do something.
