Learn how to build impressive ASP.NET 2.0 Websites in both
C# and VB from scratch.
Using a practical step-by-step approach, the authors
introduce the ASP.NET framework, teach you about database
design, and walk you through obtaining, installing and
configuring all the freely available software you need to
use ASP.NET
2.0. They then show you how to build several
real world Web-based applications that you can put to use
instantly in your projects.
Readers will learn how to:
Develop a fully functional Corporate Intranet with a dynamic
navigation menu
Create an email newsletter system using ASP.NET 2.0
Build web forms using web controls, validation controls, and
rich controls
Program in both C# and VB
Handle unforseen errors gracefully using a range of error
handling techniques
Secure applications using form authentication
Use code-behind to streamline code.
This book doesn't force you to choose an ASP.NET language in
advance - all code examples are presented in both C#
(pronounced see-sharp) and VB. You can choose which one you
want to use, and follow-it throughout the book. Best of all,
this book doesn't assume any prior programming knowledge!
What The Reviewers Say...
"This is a very well written book and an excellent overview
and introduction to developing websites in C#/VB.NET on
ASP.NET 2.0." - About.com
"This is the kind of book most of the developers will be
looking for not only to learn the technology faster but also
to create and develop a real application in a short span of
time." - ASP Alliance
"This is not your grandfather's ASP.NET 2.0 tutorial. It is
not condescending, pretentious, stodgy, or deadly boring;
rather, it is fresh, fun, even exciting; and, it does not
take itelf too seriously. The topics flow logically from one
to the next. The layout is approachable. The writers' tone
is friendly. And, the writing style makes the material very
accessible. I have yet to find a better book for Web
development novices." - C# Online .NET
