Moving to ASP.NET: Web Development with VB .NET provides focused and thorough guidance on creating Web applications using ASP.NET, including both Web Form applications and Web Services. Steve Harris and Rob Macdonald have worked extensively with .NET throughout the Beta program, and have gained real-world experience of creating and implementing ASP.NET applications. This book is targeted at current developers rather than novices, and assumes that readers will gain an understanding of companion technologies (such as VB .NET and ADO.NET) from other sources. However, appendixes have been included that provide a brief review or introduction to each of these.
Moving to ASP.NET: Web Development with VB .NET provides in-depth discussion and examination of the topics that are of interest to current developers, and shows them how to make immediate use of ASP.NET. Topics covered include Web Forms, server-side controls, mobile controls, data access and data binding, XML integration, .NET architecture and configuration, security, state and session management, designing for scalability, and Web services. Extensive examples are shown throughout the book, and are also available via the Web for readers to access and download.
Customer Reviews & Comments
This book is my best buy on ASP.NET. Don't be deceived by the "Moving to" in the title: it is not a book aimed at VB6 programmers. It is a book for those beginning with ASP.NET. It only assumes you know VB.NET (you should) and have at least a basic understanding of object oriented programming and web technologies. About it's style: The authors have the (so much rare) gift of getting in their readers shoes and give you a clear picture of things. It has strikingly clear explanations even when it goes in-depth. Everything seems to be in the right place: they provide the right detail, the right moment, focusing only on the topic at hand. And all this while being very gentle and friendly, enjoyable I'd say. About it's content: So many books out there weight too much and offer to little because their authors think they write a novel. This book has absolutely no fluff (not even about how great .NET is), no cross-reference, no code repetition. It has precisely what you need to get a solid understanding, and the precious little details which help you get a good grasp. Above all: covers both theory and practice. The explanations built-up from the basics to the more in-depth, and take you from the beginner level to the confident one. Even if you know some ASP.NET (like me) but have some uncertainties this book will put your thoughts in order. In the bottom line: once you finish the book you 'll be able to start programming with confidence. If you are looking for your first book on ASP.NET or are dissapointed by some other (like I was) go for this one.
