Product Details

Synopsis

Are you trying to decide which ASP.NET 2.0 book to buy?

Here's what you get in this book that you won't always find in other ASP.NET 2.0 books:

1) You get a fast start, if you're a beginner. By the end of chapter 4, you'll be using Visual Studio to design, code, and test multi-page web applications that get database data and manage session state.

2) You get training in all the skills you need to develop web applications at the professional level. Take a look at the table of contents to see everything that's covered with a how-to mindset.

3) You get complete applications (web forms, aspx code, and Visual Basic code) that show you how to do things you actually want to do…and they work! The book doesn't come with a CD, but you can download the applications for free from the publisher's website.

4) You get a 5-chapter section on database programming. This is an essential skill for business applications, but it's a subject that's often minimized to a single chapter in other books.

5) You get Murach's distinctive "paired-pages" format that lets you set your own pace through the material. To see how this works, you can download free chapters from the publisher's website.

So if you need to learn ASP.NET 2.0, we hope you'll try this book first. We're convinced that it will deliver the training you need in record time.

Who this book is written for
(1) Developers who are new to web programming and (2) developers who have experience with classic ASP, ASP.NET 1.x, or Java servlets and JSPs but are now moving to ASP.NET 2.0. You just have to have some background in Visual Basic, like what you would get in any beginning VB.NET book.
