Product Description What is this book about? The C# edition of ASP.NET Website Programming Problem-Design-Solution has been phenomenally successful, gaining rave reviews for its unique approach and valuable content. The blend of theory and practice. Now, due to demand from readers, a Visual Basic .NET edition of the book has been produced. This edition will offer the same blend of theory and practice that won so many fans for the C# edition. The book has been completely re-edited to ensure that it address the needs of ASP.net developers who use VB.net. ASP.NET Website Programming shows you how to build an interactive website from design to deployment. Packed with solutions to website programming problems, this book will have you building well-engineered, extendable ASP.net websites quickly and easily. What does this book cover? In this book, you will learn how to - Establish a solid, scalable website foundation
- Provide flexible user accounts integrating with ASP.net's built-in security
- Create message forums that enable formatted messages but defend against cross-site scripting
- Generate revenue from advertising
- Build a web interface for uploading, downloading, editing, and managing the files on your site
- Add opinion polls, email newsletters, and news management
- Deploy the finished site on a live server
- Build websites using good, n-tier coding techniques
The site that you build is modular. You can slot the modules into your own Web site, modify them, or use them as examples of particular ASP.NET techniques. The code will work with Visual Basic .NET Standard. However, Chapter 11 "Deploying the Site" uses some features found only in the full Visual Studio .NET. You will still be able to deploy the site, but the process will be less automated.

If you build web sites with ASP.NET as a novice or hobbyist and want to get to the next level, this book is for you! I own both the VB.NET and C#.NET versions and I highly recommend either one.Outstanding ASP.NET Case Study,
October 15, 2005 ASP.NET Website Programming: Problem - Design - Solution, C# Edition by Marco Bellinaso & Kevin Hoffman is one of the most USABLE books I have seen. I stress the word USABLE because most books are either reference manuals or just teaching tools. Either one need is hit upon or the other, whereas with this book you get to have your cake and eat it too!
The whole design of this book revolves around designing a web site from the ground up, all using ASP.NET with C# as the programming language of choice. The authors assume that you begin with nothing and you need to have all the parts of your web site hit upon to get this up and running for corporate or personal use. Since .NET is still a very new tool, this book is a very helpful resource to have for any and all web developers.
The Authors break the book up into the following parts:
Design of the overall layout, database, look and feel
Setting up basic foundations like CSS, navigation, etc
Editing and viewing all files that make up the site hierarchy
A look at managing news (information displayed to the user)
How advertising can be set up to bring in revenue
Creating and displaying polls on your site
Working with Mailing Lists
Managing a Forum
Deploying the site to the world
A discussion of different data stores that can be used
The writing in this book is very clear-cut and easy to follow. Using the code supplied in this book, the user can modify as they see fit and get their own site up and running in no time.
As an ASP.NET case study, this is the best book that I have seen to follow a site from birth to adulthood. This is a fantastic book for all C#, ASP.NET, web developers and it's a great addition to your current staple of related programming books.
***** HIGHLY RECOMMENDEDA reference book for developing a commercial web site,
October 07, 2005 I did not like the layout of the matiral, a bit clombsy but as a refernce book for finding out how to develop a commercial web site it sure does the work.Great book... but definitely not for beginners,
July 08, 2005 This book is supposed to be used by intermediate-to-experienced .NET programmers. If you have known almost everything about .NET and had some experience developing real-life web application, you see this book worth reading.
It covers a lot of matters in developing a typical ASP.NET web site. The book goes from module to module, and in each module the approach is problem-design-solution. I dont think I saw much use of design patterns, which is something I desparately want to know how to apply, but the design is generally good and specific to ASP.NET. In other words, it takes advantage of ASP.NET in terms of event models, code behind, custom controls, configuration settings, and ADO.NET of course... About using ADO.NET, it is not just simply and directly binding database to DataGrid, DataList. Instead, the authors did a good job in deciding where to use ADO.NET features and where to use object-oriented features.
The book also covers data modeling to the level of stored procedure, triggers, relationships, transactions... This makes the development process look more professional and integrated.
Though there existed some bugs in the code and the book itself takes time and hard to read, i strongly recommend this book to any one who pursues a real good career in .NET.This book has got me writing a lot of code,
September 10, 2004 This is definitely one of my favorite books. I've read it cover to cover and I'm constantly going back to use the examples as patterns for building web sites and modules. This is an excellent book for intermediate programmers. I read Beginning Visual C# first, and then skipped around through several ASP.NET books. I really can't say enough good things about this book. It's the best programming book I've ever read. If you want to learn how to build solid ASP.NET websites using C#, this is the book you need.
