Product Description "This book is by far the best computer programming book I have ever bought. You can go into my upstairs closet and find 20-30 books that I have purchased since the days of VB6.... All together, they could not add up to as much information as you have given me in the first 11 chapters of this book." (A developer's comment on the previous edition of Murach's ASP.NET)Already know how to code Visual Basic 2008 desktop applications? Then, you're ready to master web programming with the 3.5 edition of this best-selling ASP.NET book from Murach Books. It covers the 3.5 features that provide new functionality...like the ListView and DataPager data controls, LINQ data sources, new CSS-related tools, and ASP.NET AJAX...while it teaches you how to develop web applications from scratch. And it does that using all the same features that have made earlier editions such favorites among professional developers: #1. It's concise, practical, and crystal-clear in telling you what you need to know #2. It shows you how to get the most from Visual Studio 2008 as you code, test, debug, and deploy ASP.NET web applications #3. It gives you a 7-chapter section on database programming...2 more chapters than in the previous edition because .NET continues to deliver new, powerful tools for this critical component of business applications #4. It gives you solid training in the essential skills that you'll use every day, including data validation...state management...improving the user experience with easy site navigation and a standard look and feel...boosting user response time with ASP.NET AJAX...handling security...developing reusable controls...working with database data using SQL, object, and LINQ data sources...and more #5. It gives you real-world application examples that guide you in applying what you're learning as you develop your own websites (you can download the applications for free from the Murach website) #6. Its paired pages presentation makes for fast reading, instant reinforcement, and time-saving reference (to see how the paired pages work, you can download free chapters from the Murach website) So if you need to learn ASP.NET 3.5 web programming, we hope you'll try this book first. We're convinced that it will deliver the training you need better and faster than any competing book.
Featured Customer Reviews  Could not get Ch 3 to work,
November 11, 2008 Clear, Concise, Exhaustive,
September 19, 2008Very comprehensive book!,
September 17, 2008 Over the past couple of years I've become aware of the Murach series of books which fill a definite need for a complete coverage of a subject.
This book, Murach's ASP.NET 3.5 Web Programming with VB 2008, is no exception.
While it would be impossible to cover everything about asp.net in any book (nor should anyone try), this book covers a wide range of topics that will give the reader a very good set of knowledge and tools to develop almost any conceivable website.
It does start from almost the beginning with html and procedes with actual examples and a growing project through the various server controls, navigation, validation, formatting, data access, security, ajax and custom controls.
The reader should have some familiarity with programming and related concepts but beyond that a new person to .net will get a very practical education with this book. There is a lot of information packed into the 1000 pages!
Intro to desk Reference,
September 04, 2008 I picked this book up at my local store the price is better than many others on the same scale. The information included is a great start for beginners and will be a nice desk book for people who already know ASP.Net but want to learn 3.5 or need a book that covers a wide array of topics. A Great Soop to Nuts tutorial for the latest ASP.NET dev.,
August 28, 2008 I'm my job I review hundreds of books a year. I only publically comment on the really good ones and this one is super !
If I were going to teach a course on ASP.NET Development in VB, this is the book that I would use. It's complete, well written, up to date with all the latest ASP.NET technology, and aesthetically pleasing !
