The most up-to-date and comprehensive introductory ASP.NET book you’ll find on any shelf, Beginning ASP.NET 2.0 in VB 2005 guides you through Microsoft’s latest technology for building dynamic websites. You’ll learn to build dynamic web pages on the fly, with only basic prior knowledge of Visual Basic. Included is exhaustive coverage of ASP.NET, to guide you from your first steps, to the most advanced techniques, like querying databases from within a web page and performance-tuning your site.
You’ll find tips for "best practices" and comprehensive discussions of key database and XML principles you need to know in order to be effective with ASP.NET. The book also emphasizes the invaluable coding techniques of object orientation and code behind, which will start you off on the track to build real-world websites right from the beginning—rather than just faking it with simplified coding practices.
