Go from beginner to pro using one of the most effective and widely used technology stacks, Microsoft ASP.NET. Beginning with the basics, you will learn how to create interactive, professional-grade, database-driven web applications in no time, using ASP.NET, C#, SQL, Ajax, and JavaScript. Essential ASP.NET Web Forms Development is divided into six learning modules and will take you from soup to nuts with ASP.NET. Part I is an introduction to the major concepts, methodologies, and technologies associated with .NET web application development. You will learn about the client-server model, the .NET Framework, the ASP.NET and C# programming languages, and the Visual Studio integrated development environment. Part II teaches you how to develop a single-page .NET web application and add server and data validation controls, laying the foundation for learning languages in the context of an ASP.NET web application. Part III is all about C# operations and shows you how to perform assignment operations, conversion operations, control operations, string operations, arithmetic operations, date and time operations, array operations, collection operations, and file system operations, as well as create custom C# classes in the context of a .NET web application. In Part IV, you dive into a multiple-page .NET web application and learn how to maintain state between pages and create master pages, themes, and navigation controls. Part V shows you how to connect a .NET web application to a SQL Server database. You will learn to read a database schema, program in the SQL language, utilize data binding, perform single- and multiple-row database table maintenance, and write code behind database operations. And finally, Part VI teaches you how to enhance the interactivity of a .NET web application. You will learn how to generate email messages, make use of basic Ajax controls and the Ajax Control Toolkit, and program in the JavaScript language. What You Will Learn Delve into the basics of the client-server model, the .NET Framework, the ASP.NET and C# programming languages, and the Visual Studio integrated development environmentCreate a page and add server and data validation controlsDevelop basic programming skills in the C# languageMaintain state between pages and create master pages, themes, and navigation controlsRead a database schema, program in the SQL language, utilize data binding, perform single- and multiple-row database table maintenance, and write code behind database operationsGenerate email messages, make use of basic Ajax controls and the Ajax Control Toolkit, and program in the JavaScript language Who This Book Is For Anyone who wants to learn how to build ASP.NET web applications. Basic computer skills and the use of a database management system are recommended. Instructor materials and examples are available.

In this book, you’ll be introduced to the features and capabilities of ASP.NET 3.5, as well as the foundation that ASP.NET provides. Updated for the latest release of Visual Studio, this new edition adds five hundred pages of great new content compared to the original 2.0 version of the book. Including both printed and downloadable VB and C# code examples, this edition focuses even more on experienced programmers and advanced web development. New coverage includes new chapters on IIS 7 development, LINQ, ASP.NET, Silverlight, and many others.

The only book that provides insight to designers on designing ASP.NET applications in an analogy manner that designers can understand and relate to, this guide also provides clear and concise, hands-on, real-world examples right from the beginning of the book.

This book begins with you working along as Scott Guthrie builds a complete ASP.NET MVC reference application. He begins NerdDinner by using the File->New Project menu command within Visual Studio to create a new ASP.NET MVC Application. You'll then incrementally add functionality and features. Along the way you’ll cover how to create a database, build a model layer with business rule validations, implement listing/details data browsing, provide CRUD (Create, Update, Delete) data form entry support, implement efficient data paging, reuse UI using master pages and partials, secure the application using authentication and authorization, use AJAX to deliver dynamic updates and interactive map support, and implement automated unit testing. From there, the bulk of the rest of the book begins with the basic concepts around the model view controller pattern, including the little history and the state of the MVC on the web today. We'll then go into the ways that MVC is different from ASP.NET Web Forms. We'll explore the structure of a standard MVC application and see what you get out of the box. Next we dig deep into routing and see the role URLs play in your application. We'll deep dive into controllers and views and see what role the Ajax plays in your applications. The last third of the book focuses entirely on advanced techniques and extending the framework. In some places, we assume that you're somewhat familiar with ASP.NET WebForms, at least peripherally. There are a lot of ASP.NET WebForms developers out there who are interested in ASP.NET MVC so there are a number of places in this book where we contrast the two technologies. Even if you're not already an ASP.NET developer, you might still find these sections interesting for context, as well as for your own edification as ASP.NET MVC may not be the web technology that you're looking for.

ASP.Net Web Developer's Guide provides information to make use of Microsoft's newest Web development platform. ASP.NET is a revolutionary programming framework that enables the rapid development of powerful web applications and services. Part of the emerging Microsoft .NET Platform, it provides the easiest and most scalable way to build, deploy and run distributed web applications that can target any browser or device. ASP.NET (formerly referred to as ASP+) is more than the next version of Active Server Pages (ASP); it is a unified Web development platform that provides the services necessary for developers to build enterprise-class Web applications. ASP .net Web Developer's Guide assists Web developers to quickly and easily build solutions for the Microsoft .NET platform. Programmers who are expert in asp and other languages will find this book invaluable. This book will appeal to all web developers - regardless of what language they are using or what platform they will be using. Comprehensive Coverage of the Entire .net Framework for B2B commerce.
