Product Description The Web application infrastructure ASP.NET, introduced as part of version 1.0 of the Microsoft .NET Framework, provides the thin-client counterpart to Microsoft Windows® client development. With dramatic improvements in performance, productivity, and security features, Microsoft Visual Studio® 2005 and ASP.NET 2.0 deliver a simplified, high-performance, and powerful Web development experience. ASP.NET 2.0 features a new set of controls and infrastructure that simplify Web-based data access and include functionality that facilitates code reuse, visual consistency, and aesthetic appeal. Now you can teach yourself the essentials of working with ASP.NET 2.0 in the Visual Studio environment—one step at a time. With STEP BY STEP, you work at your own pace through hands-on, learn-by-doing exercises. Whether you’re a beginning programmer or new to this version of the technology, you’ll understand the core capabilities and fundamental techniques for ASP.NET 2.0. Each chapter puts you to work, showing you how, when, and why to use specific features of the ASP.NET 2.0 rapid application development environment and guiding you as you create actual components and working applications for the Web, including advanced features such as personalization.
Featured Customer Reviews Simply Terrible. Did ANYONE edit the exercises in this book,
January 03, 2009 I've been a software developer since 1987. I've been doing .Net work since 2006. Most of the asp.net and C# stuff I picked up by reading books and experimenting. I've read many, many teach yourself type books over the years and this is among the worst. Sure, you will learn some things but you will tear your hair out trying to get through the exercises. It's clear that this book did not get close attention from the editing staff and certainly no one actually worked through these exercises. There are fields and properties that are declared with one name and then used with a different name: Example:
Text{ get... set...} and then used in the methods as PalindromeText.
Fortunately, I had enough experience to figure things like this out but a newbie would be hopelessly misled. The chapter on Webparts doesn't mention ANYTHING about the required infrastructure and configuration that needs to be in place in order to use Webparts. Chapter 8 "A Common Look and Feel" is missing steps in both the master pages and themes section.
This is a very shoddy piece of work and if I were the editor and author I would be totally ashamed of this product. No way would I put my name on this work.
 Run, do not walk, away from this book,
February 19, 2008
I could say more, but then I would waste even more time on this book, which does not deserve it. Trust me, do not waste a penny, or even more valuable, your time and brain cells on this.dont bother,
January 10, 2008 I have worked through the first six chapters and it just gets worse and worse. The code, both in the text and the CD is laced with errors. There are sudden jumps with no explanation. I do think the choice of topics and the examples are well chosen but the book book is so sloppily edited that it is not worth the time and money. This is more like a rough draft than a final copy. I am an experienced C# programmer and this book has caused a lot of frustration and time waste.
I would be ashamed to have my name on something this shoddy.This book is useless!!!!,
August 16, 2007 Dont buy this book. Many omissions and typo errors. You will spend all your time trying to get the examples to work.Houston, we have a problem,
July 28, 2007 If you are a programmer who is smart enough to be hired by Microsoft -- this is the book for you. For the rest of us mere mortals -- buy something else.
