Product Description

Book Description
ASP.NET is the latest incarnation of Microsoft's Active Server Pages (ASP) - a powerful server-based technology, designed to create dynamic and interactive HTML pages for your Web site, or corporate intranet. ASP.NET also constitutes a core element in Microsoft's .NET vision, providing web-based access to an immensely powerful new development environment, .NET; in this respect alone, it's a great leap ahead of all previous versions of ASP.

This book will provide you with a step-by-step introduction to ASP.NET using C#, with plenty of worked examples that will help you to gain a deep understanding of what ASP.NET is all about, and how you can harness it to build powerful web applications.

Wrox has published two editions of Beginning ASP.NET, one presenting code samples in C#, the other in VB.NET, with sample downloads available in both languages.

This book covers:

Creating basic ASP.NET pages
Learning the basics of C#
Understanding the concepts of Object Oriented Programming
Working with Data and XML
The ASP.NET Server Controls
Creating User Controls and Components
Exploring the world of Web Services
Configuring your ASP.NET Applications
The future of VoiceXML technologies, including VoiceXML 2.0

He has worked with Demon Internet, Microsoft, Saab, Travelstore and Vodafone.

Chris Goode is a Technical Architect in the .NET team at Wrox, currently specializing in ASP.NET. She has a degree in Mechanical Engineering, but decided that the engineering world wasn't for her. She's now back firmly in the world of computers, finding that life at Wrox combines the fun stuff with the work stuff pretty well.

He writes regularly for leading online publications. He is currently working for his Masters in Business Administration at Fisher College of Business, Ohio State University.

He has given several presentations on ASP and ASP.NET related topics in the Pittsburgh area. Neil holds a BS (Virginia Tech), an MBA (Duquesne University), and MCSD and MCDBA certifications.

David Sussman spent most of his professional life as a developer before realizing that writing was far more fun. He specializes in Internet and data access technologies, and spends much of his time delving into beta technologies. You can reach him at davids@ipona.co.uk.

Chris Ullman is a Computer Science graduate who came to Wrox five years ago, when 14.4 modems were the hottest Internet technology and Netscape Navigator 2.0 was a groundbreaking innovation. Since then he's applied his knowledge of HTML, server-side web technologies, Java and Visual Basic to developing, editing and authoring books.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book for the total novice - a bit light for the Pro, 7 Jan 2002
By A Customer
When I started reading this book I was a little disappointed but only because I am a professional ASP3.0 programmer and I found the book is a little lightweight and repetitive. The First few chapters are interspersed with lots of "how to program" examples that I found myself skipping over. It's style, is: introduce topic, give example, explain example step by step, repeat if necessary. I couldn't help but think this would be a truly great book for the total novice though!

The book assumes a little HTML but otherwise the authors take you through each step and explain the potentially complex topics with clarity and ease and take very little for granted. In the context of information provided here, my existing ASP knowledge has been of minimal extra help. Most things I have learned over the last two years are neatly explained here or superceded by the new framework!

If you are considering this book, you may also want to look at its sister book instead: Beginning asp.net using VB.net. This is not the right place to consider the pros and cons of each .net language but if you are unsure which to use it would be worth doing a little research as there is no 'right' answer but you should be aware of the choice you have.

If you are an experienced ASP programmer (especially if you have some C++ or Java) you would probably be better off going straight to something like Professional asp.net - Wrox Press(2nd edition due out Feb 2002) or the forthcoming Programming asp.net by Jesse Liberty - O'Reilly (March 2002). However, I have still benefited from reading the book as it does cover the important topics well and with surprising depth considering the general tone of the book.

A good book that's probably a great book in the hands of its target reader.
