Product Description
What is this book about?
With help from Microsoft ASP.NET insider Bradley Millington, John Kaufman covers both VB.NET and C# coding for ASP.NET databases so you don't have to decide up front which language you want more and retailers no longer have to manage inventory on separate language versions.
What does this book cover?
This edition is completely written from scratch on the ASP.NET "Whidbey" Beta to ensure the coverage is most appropriate for this greatly changed version.
The book focuses on solving business problems in a logical progression, from connecting to displaying to changing the data. Additional chapters cover enhancements to the presentation and alternate types of data. The book follows the practice of going beyond the basic techniques to discuss the permutations, pitfalls, and best practices that occur in real business scenarios.

Customer Reviews & Comments
There are several other previous ASP.NET 2.0 books available but they are all out of date as there are some major changes from beta 1 to beta 2. Beta 2 (which there's a good preview available of as of March in the form of a new "community technical preview" on MSDN) should be close to the final feature set developers will see when ASP.NET 2.0 and Visual Studio 2005 finally releases. So, beta 2 is now a good point for developers to get familiar with ASP.NET 2.0 in preparation for final release. Given that the point of ASP.NET 2.0 is to build data-driven sites, Kauffman's database-centric book is a good way to look at it. The most important change in beta 2 is ASP.NET 2.0's new ties to the "SQL Server 2005 Express Edition" product. This is detailed well in one of the early chapters here. After that the author covers all the routine ASP.NET data techniques you'll need to know including: Displaying data Paging and sorting data Filtering data Updating, deleting, inserting data Working with XML
