Editorials
From Barnes & Noble
The Barnes & Noble ReviewIn reinventing ASP, Microsoft gave deep thought to the future of web development -- and actually watched web developers struggling to solve the same problems over and over again. ASP.NET Bible systematically presents ASP.NET from the perspective of the experienced web developer, showing how to extract the value of Microsoft's massive investment.
Ever need to validate forms or browsers? Did you reinvent that wheel? Now you can use one of ASP .NET's six new validation controls, and skip most of the custom coding. ASP.NET Bible contains a full chapter on these controls.
Nearly all ASP.NET applications draw upon databases; ASP.NET's advanced data binding features and new DataGrid controls make these applications a whole lot easier to build. ASP.NET Bible's complete section on database programming covers these tools in depth -- along with ASP.NET's XML support, SQL Server integration, templates, and much more.
From application integration to business objects, caching to deployment, it's here -- together with two start-to-finish case studies. P.S. Building your ASP.NET applications with VB.NET? You'll appreciate the book's detailed references to VB.NET syntax, functions, features, and object-oriented development. (Bill Camarda)
