"Programming ASP.NET, Second Edition":Build Web Applications and Services Using C# and VB.NET
Sebastopol, CA--ASP.NET, successor to Microsoft's Active Server Pages
(ASP), is so complete and flexible that a web developer's main
difficulty may lie simply in weaving the pieces together for maximum
efficiency. The new edition of Programming ASP.NET (O'Reilly, US
$49.95) by Jesse Liberty and Dan Hurwitz shows developers how to do
just that. Updated for Version 1.1 of the NET framework and Visual
Studio .NET 2003, the second edition of this bestselling .NET title
shows developers how to create dynamic, data-driven web sites and
services using both C# and Visual Basic .NET.
In "Programming ASP.NET, Second Edition," Liberty and Hurwitz cover
everything readers need to know to be effective with ASP.NET. The book
includes a comprehensive tutorial on Web Forms, which, in conjunction
with Visual Studio .NET 2003, allows developers to apply Rapid
Application Development techniques (including drag-and-drop control
placement) to web development. The book includes extensive coverage of
each type of server control, including web server controls, HTML server
controls, and custom controls. New material covers creating ASP.NET
pages for mobile devices.
Since most web applications and web services involve retrieving data
and returning it to a client browser, "Programming ASP.NET, Second
Edition" also offers extensive coverage of data access issues. These
include topics such as using ASP.NET's list-bound controls, accessing
data using the ADO.NET object model, and updating data with or without
transaction support.
"Programming ASP.NET" also discusses such advanced topics as:
- Caching and performance
- Security
- Configuration and deployment
Those who are already familiar with Active Server Pages technology will
appreciate the in-depth focus and straightforward, easy-to-read
approach for developing web pages and web services. Succinct, direct,
and loaded with examples, "Programming ASP.NET, Second Edition" will
help users at every level master ASP.NET without getting bogged down in
the complexity of its features.
Praise for the first edition:
"The authors have written a great reference book on ASP.NET for use by
both C# and VB.NET programmers. Unlike other reference books, it is not
a list of classes, but rather a concise tutorial. Users at every level
will appreciate this approach. I highly recommend this book to ASP.NET
programmers."
--CompuNotes Issue #183
"'Programming ASP.NET' by Jesse Liberty and Dan Hurwitz is very
succinct and very direct, very quickly yet still effectively explaining
how ASP.NET works and how it does what it does. The book satisfies a
growing concern from the .NET developer community, in displaying all of
the code examples in both Visual Basic .NET and in C#, all compatible
with ASP.NET V1...I don't normally use a ratings system, but if I did,
this would have been 4.5 out of 5...This book is a 'must buy' for
development enthusiasts."
--Jason Salas, .NET User Group of Guam, March 2002
"Suitable for most any programmer who wants to master ASP.NET with an
eye toward real-world development, 'Programming ASP.NET' is an
excellent resource that mixes good coverage of APIs with actual
programming techniques and advice using Visual Basic .NET and C#. The
combination places it in the forefront of currently available titles on
ASP.NET. Written in part by veteran computer author Jesse Liberty, this
book offers an excellent mix of coverage of important ASP.NET features
that you will absolutely need to use for real-world
programming."
--Richard Dragan, amazon.com, April 2002
