Pro ASP.Net 2.0 Web Form Techniques, Third Edition

This book is much more than just a book of ASP.NET 2.0 language tips. It's a book that helps developers get to grips with ASP.NET 2.0 in their professional lives. Developers moving to .NET 2.0 at the present time are faced with a barrage of new concepts and ideas. First, and by no means least they have to get to understand all the new coding techniques and standards that have been introduced with ASP.NET 2.0 (such as Master Pages and Generics), then they need to be aware of rising ancillary technologies such as Ajax and "Atlas" which look set to become intrinsically linked to ASP.NET development for now onwards. Finally, the popularity of alternative browsers, such as Firefox, means that now, more than ever, they need to be aware of the XHTML/CSS compliance of their web applications if they want them to be viewed as intended by their customers. This book helps them to understand this. It starts by assuming that its readers have a basic understanding of ASP.NET and then takes them on a detailed tour of the new features, techniques and standards showing them how they work, together with where and why they should be used. By the end readers will be fully conversant with the state of modern .NET web development, will know the likely direction of future trends and will be able to apply all of this to their development projects.
