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  Not for a Beginner in a Hurry,
May 13, 2010 Launchng into ASP.NET,
May 03, 2010Fat Book, but amazing content,
December 09, 2009 I bought this book for a class and am not a great source of reviews, but can let you know this. Do not go for the aesthetics. This is a really good book. I havn't had a chance to look at the VB.Net book for Dummies (if there is one), but this book has guidelines for a step by step flow for beginners. Later in the book it starts to get complex, but by then you already are prepared for it.Excellent starting point,
July 12, 2009 I was impressed with what I learned with the C# 2008 book from this version, that I decided to give the ASP.Net version a shot. In my opinion, this is a very good book to start ASP.Net using Visual Studio 2008. The book progresses from setting up your development environment then to the programming section itself. This book uses the same paired pages format as the other books which I find convenient (i.e. you don't need to highlight anything in the book as bullet points are presented). The other book I recommend is ASP.Net Unleashed.Its about Style,
April 28, 2009 I have sued Murach's version of the book in c# using VS 20005, and have learnt Java Servelts written by Murach in the same style. It's the style that makes Murach's book unique. So let me elaborate on the style. A series of CONNECTIVE "how to topics" are presented in the following format: a discussion or narrative of the topic on one side of the page while the other side has code or diagrams that correspond to the narrative. All the books have sufficient theory and hands on exercises. If you're a code junky this style is not for you. If you're looking for a story this style is not for you. If you are an inspiring software engineer this style is for you. That is because Murach's books have three important traits: The How is answered with a What and Why, written in a style that can bring you up to speed with a new technology to Analyze and Build! Yup! there a few are typos and code issues, nothing extensive, compared to other books. I wish Murach would write more advanced books in a similar style.
