Product Description
By combining the application development features of Visual Basic with the power of C ++, Microsoft's .NET framework is bringing revolutionary power toWeb developers. However, to tap that power, developers need to figure out how to work within the .NET framework--and for that there's ASP.NET Development with Dreamweaver: Visual QuickPro Guide. In clear, direct language, reinforced by lots of visual aids, this task-based guide shows readers how to use Macromedia's popular Dreamweaver software (completely updated to support ASP.NET) within the .NET framework to create more powerful Web applications than ever before. Starting with the basics, readers will learn how Dreamweaver integrates with the .NET framework before moving on to more advanced topics like ADO.NET database interaction and extending the .NET framework through user controls. In the process, readers will also discover how to take advantage of Dreamweaver's fantastic Web Services integration--again in the context of the .NET framework and the new object-oriented features available to .NET languages. Peppered throughout are the inside tips and timesaving techniques readers have come to expect from this popular series. For anybody who wants to create .NET applications from within Dreamweaver MX, this guide is mandatory.

Customer Reviews & Comments
Visual Quickstart books are an exercise in benefit vs cost. You sometimes don't get as much as you do in some other books, but you also don't pay as much. If you're looking for an introduction on how to use ASP.NET with DW MX, this book will give you your money's worth. If you're really strapped for cash, you can get chapters 4 and 5, which represent the core of the book, from Macromedia's devnet site for free. A couple of reviews mention errors in the book. I've found that DW itself generates bad VB code. The book uses C# in its examples, so if you opted to work in VB you won't have anything in the book to compare your generated output with. You should have enough VB.NET knowledge to recognize bad code when you see it and make the necessary corrections. In fact, I'd say that this book is intended for people who know both DW and ASP.NET and want to learn how the two work together, not for people who know one technology and want to learn the other. The book doesn't deal with ASP.NET code-behind files at all. The authors state that they're a great idea, but because DW doesn't support them directly and they're difficult to integrate, the book won't attempt cover them.
