Pro ASP.NET 2.0 in VB 2005

ASP.NET 2.0 is the latest version of Microsoft?s current ASP.NET 1.1 technology, which is fast becoming the accepted technology standard for creating dynamic web pages on the Windows platform. It is now used across the board from start-ups to blue-chip multi-national corporations. ASP.NET 2.0 is building on this solid foundation and adding new improvements. The new technology will be faster to code, offer a more powerful set of tools (for example MasterPages and Generics) and will also run quicker when deployed, so that customers enjoy a significantly better user experience.

Pro ASP.NET 2.0 in VB.NET is a book that understands this. Following on from Apress? well regarded Pro ASP.NET 1.1 title, this is a fresh book rooted in the best-practices and pragmatic style of its predecessor. The author clearly explains how ASP.NET 2.0 works for the professional programmer ? covering both the brand new innovations and those features that have been carried over from the previous version. Knowing that while new features are important, it is how you use the technology as a cohesive whole that really matters, Laurence Moroney and Matthew MacDonald adopt a broad-based approach explaining how all the features ? both old and new ? interrelate. This gives readers the solid understanding they need to code real applications.
