ASP.NET 2.0: A Developer''''s NotebookBy

When ASP.NET hit the street a couple of years ago, it was a
real eye-opener. Microsoft''''s tool for creating dynamic,
server side web applications introduced Web Forms, a feature
with the same rapid drag and drop convenience enjoyed by
Visual Basic developers, along with a method for creating
XML-based web services. ASP.NET was more than an upgrade of
Active Server Pages it was a quantum leap ahead.
Now Microsoft has a new version of ASP.NET as part of its
upcoming next generation release of the Visual Studio .NET
development platform. ASP.NET 2.0 is already available in
beta release, and web developers are anxious to get a good
look at it. That''''s exactly what our new Developer''''s Notebook
allows you to do.
More than just an introduction to ASP.NET 2.0, this
practical guide acquaints you with all of the new features
through nearly 50 hands-on projects. Each one places
emphasis on changes in the new release that can increase
productivity, simplify programming tasks, and help you add
functionality to your applications. For example, ASP.NET 2.0
includes master pages, themes, and skins so you can build
applications with a consistent page layout and design. Other
changes allow for the automatic creation of web pages for
use on mobile devices, while wizards and controls allow you
to perform frequent tasks (like data access) without having
to write a single line of code.
ASP.NET 2.0: A Developer''''s Notebook
also includes suggestions for further experimentation, links
to on-line documentation, and practical notes and warnings
from the author regarding changes to the new version.
The new Developer''''s Notebooks series from O''''Reilly offers an
in-depth first look at important new tools for software
developers. Emphasizing example over explanation and
practice over theory, they focus on learning by doing you''''ll
get the goods straight from the masters, in an informal and
code-intensive style. If you want to get up to speed on
ASP.NET 2.0 before its official release, this all lab, no
lecture book will get you there.
Who This Book Is For
ASP.NET 2.0: A Developer'sNotebook is written for programmers who are already
familiar with ASP.NET 1.x (1.0 or 1.1) and who have used a previous
version of Visual Studio .NET (either 2002 or 2003) to build ASP.NET
web applications. Our aim is to introduce you, through a series of
hands-on labs, to the new features of ASP.NET 2.0 using the Visual
Studio 2005 development environment.In order to get the most out of this book you'll
need a copy of Visual Studio 2005 that supports Visual Basic. You are
encouraged to work your way through the labs, as they are
purposefully small and to the point; however, the complete source
code (along with an Errata) is available on
O'Reilly's web page for this book,
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/aspnetadn/.ASP.NET 2.0: A Developer's
Notebook covers very little of the material that an
experienced ASP.NET 1.x programmer already knows: our goal is to help
you to build on your current knowledge, not to waste your time with
old material.Tip: If you are not yet familiar with ASP.NET, you may prefer to read
Programming ASP.NET by Jesse Liberty and Dan
Hurwitz, which teaches ASP.NET from the ground up.As the examples in this book are all written in Visual Basic 2005, C#
programmers will have to do some conversion. However, the syntactical
differences between the two languages are minor and make the
conversion process trivial. For more information, see the
C# and VB.NET Conversion Pocket Reference by
Jose Mojica (O'Reilly).
Similarly, this book does not try to be exhaustive in its treatment
of how you go about building web applications with ASP.NET 2.0 and
the Visual Studio 2005 development environment. Instead, I introduce
you to what is new in ASP.NET 2.0, the development environment and
the class libraries, and to equip you for further exploration of
those areas that are likely to be of particular interest to you.
