Product Description

ASP.NET 3.5 is Microsoft’s next generation web-development technology building upon the successful ASP.NET 2.0 platform and augmenting it with a number of key new features. The most prominent of these are ASP.NET AJAX (formerly code-named Atlas) for improving user-interface design and Language Integrated Query (LINQ) for revolutionizing the way .NET code interacts with database information. This book is the second edition of Matthew MacDonald and Mario Szpuszta’s well-regarded title. It has been comprehensively updated to provide detailed coverage of all.NET 3.5’s new features within the same framework and writing style that made the previous editions so successful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very very good, 16 Jun 2008

By	P. Hardy "lad4bear" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have a lot of asp.net books but this is the best by far. It's clear, well written and the examples are relevant. I've been programming .net since version 1.1, and its nice that I'm bumping into stuff that I just didn't know before. Anyway, to put it simply, I can't recommend this book enough, I've packed all my others away :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Coverage and depth, 5 Feb 2008

By	shinysteve "shinysteve" - See all my reviews

What more can I say? Its all in here and with plenty of examples to show how it all works too. Nice writing style makes for easy reading - but at 1498 pages you ain't going to get through it in a day. Its great for dipping in and out of and for looking up the specifics of C#/ASP topics - or pick a chapter and enhance your knowledge.

Very, very impressed by this - its my first APress book, but it won't be my last.

This is excellent book for all people who's interesting learn about ASP.NET 3.5. It also serves as a great reference.
In this book You can find all interesting important information about creating powerful web application in Microsoft Technology with C#. Interesting chapters have a lot of examples,

charts, and pictures illustrated all topics in this book. I think this is the best resource about the newest web technology.

This book is good for all developers, from people who's create first application on NET Framework and for experts and professional developers. Matthew MacDonald and Mario

Szpuszta prepare book, where You can easly find everything information about development with ASP.NET, from core concepts (NET Framework strategy, working with Visual

Studio 2008) to advanced security sections and building custom controls and weparts with ASP.NET technology. Additional, writers add to book some special chapters about Linq,

AJAX and Silverlight. This is good introduction to these technology, too.

Everyday I work with building internet application and websites, and I using this book in my work. It's incredibly source of examples, best practices and information about my

favourite web technology. I have a two, the best chapters,and I like read this two, three ... and when I read this I always found new features in ASP.NET.
I like chapters about advanced user interface techniques where developers can learn about user controls, customer server controls, using JavaScript in client-side features and

GDI+ with ASP.NET applications, and chapter about development applications with Internet Information Services 7, Microsoft's premier web hosting platform.

Mathew and Mario does a great job relating everything to real world scenarios. He also provides very usable code samples.

If you are developing in ASP.NET 3.5, this is a must have book. I recommend this book for everythink who thinking about creating good and professional applications for web.
