Product Description
The most up-to-date and comprehensive introductory ASP.NET book you'll find on any shelf, Beginning ASP.NET 1.1 in C# guides you through Microsoft's latest technology for building dynamic websites. This book will enable you to build dynamic web pages on the fly, and it assumes only the most basic knowledge of C#.
Beginning ASP.NET 1.1 in C# provides exhaustive coverage of ASP.NET, guiding you from your first steps right up to the most advanced techniques, such as querying databases from within a web page and performance-tuning your site. You'll find tips for "best practices" and comprehensive discussions of key database and XML principles you need to know in order to be effective with ASP.NET. The book also emphasizes the invaluable coding techniques of object orientation and code behind, which will start you off on the track to build real-world websites right from the beginning--rather than just faking it with simplified coding practices.
By the time you've finished the book, you will have mastered the core techniques and have all the knowledge you need to begin work as a professional ASP.NET developer.

Customer Reviews & Comments
This is a tome sized introduction to ASP.NET using C#. It goes from installation, through the C# language, into web forms and control, database access, web services and into advanced topics like caching, security and component building. And all of that is stuffed into a one thousand page frame. As you can imagine, some of the material is a little short. For example the coverage of C#, which is intended for beginners, is a mere 50 pages. Other sections, like those on web controls, and the references at the end, are well apportioned to the topic. The database section has significant technical flaws. It uses string construction to inject GET and POST variables into the SQL statement. This is an anti-pattern which can lead to bugs, SQL injection attacks, and poor cache performance. Do not use the SQL construction techniques in this book The book also overuses screenshots and is light on architectural illustrations. There are some good parts. The chapter on XML is excellent, as is the one on security. The latter is ironic as the SQL code is vulnerable to injection attacks. There is some quality reference material at the end of the book, but it is not as well organized as O'Reilly books. Overall I think this is a reasonable introduction to ASP.NET. You will need other books to fill out the rough spots. But for someone who already knows a language like Java this would be an ideal way to see the corresponding ASP.NET methodology at a high level.
