ASP.NET and VB.NET Web Programming (Paperback)

With ASP.NET, developers can create robust, high-performance Web applications and services in much the same way they've long constructed Windows applications: visually and rapidly. Whether you're an experienced Web developer or not, ASP.NET and VB.NET Web Programming will show you how to make the most of ASP.NET, using Microsoft's most popular development language -- Visual Basic. Matthew Crouch begins by introducing the .NET platform and outlining its advantages for Web development when compared with alternative approaches. Next, he presents a crash course in Visual Basic .NET programming for both new VB developers and those upgrading from earlier versions. Crouch introduces ASP.NET's programming model and key features -- dissecting ASP.NET Web pages, introducing ASP.NET's powerful Web, HTML, and rich controls, and walking step-by-step through the creation of a full ASP.NET application. Next, he demonstrates how to access the .NET Framework Class Library from ASP.NET, leveraging .NET's built-in directory services, message queueing, Internet communication, and XML data manipulation facilities. The book also contains extensive coverage of building .NET managed components and Web services with Visual Basic .NET; accessing data with ADO.NET; and securing your .NET applications. The accompanying CD contains all the source code from the book. For all Web application developers who are just starting out with .NET.

The Microsoft .NET Framework and Active Server Pages.NET (ASP.NET) allow developers to create world-class Web applications and Web services quickly and easily. Web applications built within the .NET Framework can integrate with any operating system running on any device. Web services are reusable component applications that enable distributed computing on the Internet, using standard protocols like HTTP and XML. Developers conversant in .NET can now deliver more dynamic applications to market more quickly.

ASP.NET and VB.NET Web Programming provides developers with the practical information and step-by-step guidance they need to become productive with .NET. This tutorial offers a comprehensive yet approachable introduction to the .NET Framework, ASP.NET programming, and XML Web Services development. Each chapter begins with an overview and then walks readers through one or more lab exercises that are well illustrated with screenshots and punctuated with tips and warnings. All examples are in Visual Basic.NET (VB.NET).
