There are plenty of excellent books on ASP.NET 2.0, but if you're building web portals, this is the one you want. This is the one that's entirely focused on Web Parts and Microsoft's Portal Framework. This is the one that shows exactly how to apply Microsoft's core portal APIs, even in complex enterprise environments. This is the one that covers prototyping, security, advanced customization, even monitoring.
Darren Neimke teaches portal development hands-on, using as a foundation the robust new Adventure Works sample database Microsoft created for SQL Server 2005. (Think of yourself as a web developer just hired by Adventure Works, and you'll get the idea.)
You'll start by understanding what Web Parts are, how they function, and their internals. Neimke shows how Web Part connections and transformers can empower users to work with existing data new ways. Next, he takes you "under the covers" with Microsoft's Web Part Manager, revealing how it orchestrates your portal's runtime behavior, and how you can customize it. You'll learn how to further customize your site's display with zones, and then dive headfirst into personalization.
After you've thoroughly explored Microsoft's APIs, you'll use them to build a modern portal from start to finish. Neimke walks you through implementing many of today's most popular customizations, and shows how and when to mix server-side and client-side code. Instead of wasting time on the usual deployment rigamarole -- copying files, and so forth -- he shows how to instrument your portal using Microsoft's event-based health monitoring system. There's even a preview of Atlas, which will let you deliver Ajax-style web pages without their usual cost and complexity. Bill Camarda, from the January 2007 Read Only
