ASP.NET is the next generation of Active Server Pages from Microsoft. More than a mere upgrade, it is designed to support the development of dynamic and data driven Web applications and services in much the same way Visual Basic historically supported the rapid development applications on Microsoft Windows desktop applications.
This book's concise treatment of ASP.NET basics and greater focus on applications development targets experienced programmers and Web developers who want to quickly create ASP.NET applications.
The book draws on the experiences of alpha and beta testers to cover the topics most relevant - and problems most troublesome - to Web developers. The many short examples, rather than a single, unmanageably large application, allow the widest range of constructs, both valid and invalid.
