Learning ASP.NET 2.0 with AJAX--New from O'Reilly Media: Building Engaging Websites with ASP.NET and AJAX
Sebastopol, CA--Learning ASP.NET isn't difficult. Not only are the
concepts straightforward, but also the Visual Studio and Visual Web
Developer environments radically simplify the process of building
powerful
web applications. Yet learning how to weave the many pieces together to
assemble a robust, flexible, and efficient application can be
challenging.
Fortunately O'Reilly's newest title--
Learning ASP.NET 2.0 with AJAX
($44.99 US)--shows you how to take advantage of Microsoft's latest web
development tools to construct captivating sites and appealing
applications.
"One of the wonderful characteristics of the tools (Visual Web Developer
or Visual Studio) and the technology you'll be using (ASP.NET and
ASP.NET
AJAX) is that you'll be able to create your applications with drag and
drop programming and just a little bit of hand coding to handle
'events,'"
explain authors Jesse Liberty, Dan Hurwitz, and Brian MacDonald.
Guided by this expert team, you learn how to construct dynamic
applications sporting all the winning, must-have tricks seen on today's
most admired commercial websites. So whether you hope to create
easy-to-use order forms and interactive databases, build pages that
display information interactively without a page refresh, or create
dynamic navigation tools, this reference shows you how. "The best
part is
you'll do it all with minimal coding," add the authors.
Annotated examples, VB mini-tutorials, illustrations, and chapter
summaries help you master the concepts and techniques of Microsoft's
tools. Each chapter also contains a unique Workshop section with
practical
exercises and review quizzes, so you can practice new skills and test
your
understanding as you go. With this book, you'll learn to:
- Master the fundamental skills of ASP.NET 2.0 to build
professional-quality web applications
- Integrate new Ajax tools and CSS with ASP.NET 2.0 for flashier and
more
interactive sites
- Build applications with minimal coding using Visual Studio or its free
counterpart, Visual Web Developer
- Connect your site with a database so that users can retrieve,
interact,
and save data
- Debug your application, deal with unexpected problems, and protect
your
site from malicious users
- Use the community-maintained ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit to extend
the
controls that come with ASP.NET AJAX
- Use personalization tools to give your site a customized look for each user
Ideal for beginning web developers or those who are new to ASP.NET, this
book gets you involved with your own learning through hands-on lessons
that are clear and direct. Want to join the world of modern web
development? This book will get you started.
