Are you getting the most from ASP.NET? While it's easy to build quite complex pages quickly and easily with ASP.NET, acquiring a more intimate knowledge of the Framework as a whole means that you can really take advantage of the great features it provides. This book is aimed at developers who are already familiar with ASP.NET, and explores some of the more advanced topics that help you to build better, more efficient and more attractive Web pages and Web applications. Topics include getting more from the DataGrid control, creating re-usable content as both user and server controls, building secure applications, validating user input, integrating client-side script, providing great cross-browser support, and much more.

| ASP.NET Web Forms are the foundation for building the user interface for any kind of Web site or application under .NET. The abundace of intelligent server controls and the whole postback architecture and automatic page state maintenance make it much easier than even before to build great interactive pages. This book discusses ways of designing and building a complete Web site that is attractive, fast, inuitive, efficient and interesting for visitors. And, behind the scenes, it makes you think about things like providing good accessibilty to all users, and supporting all types of browser.

Data management is at the heart of almost all Web applications, as well as being the driving force behind many dynamic Web sites. However, the transition from the client/server world to the Internet has been tough for applications that have to accomplish complex data management techniques, especially when updating that data is a requirement. The Microsoft .NET Framework makes it all much easier to accomplish, but it's also a good idea to take another look at "rich" clients and see how they can help to create interactive and efficient distributed data applications. This book covers n-tier architecture, data and middle tier components, remoting and caching data on the client, Web Services and many other techniques. And there are even some online samples you can try at http://www.daveandal.net/books/4923/ |
| Fully updated to version 1.1. This book follows on from the highly acclaimed version 1.0 release by covering ASP.NET as a whole, including the changes and new features in version 1.1. ASP.NET makes it easier, faster and less error-prone to build great Web pages and Web applications. In many cases, there is actually less code to write - and sometime none at all. ASP.NET does much of the repetitive work for you automatically through server-side controls and the built-in postback architecture. On top of this, ASP.NET processes your pages faster and more efficiently, providing compiled code caching and other improved runtime services. You can run ASP.NET 1.1 alongside earlier versions, including ASP 3.0. Online samples you can try are at http://www.daveandal.net/books/8900/ |
