Product Description

ASP.NET 3.5 is the latest version of Microsoft’s revolutionary ASP.NET technology. It is the principal standard for creating dynamic web pages on the Windows platform. Pro ASP.NET 3.5 in C# 2008 raises the bar for high–quality, practical advice on learning and deploying Microsoft’s dynamic web solution.

Seasoned .NET professionals Matthew MacDonald and Mario Szpuszta explain how you can get the most from this groundbreaking new technology. They cover ASP.NET 3.5 as a whole, illustrating both the brand–new features and the functionality carried over from previous versions of ASP. This book will give you the knowledge you need to code real ASP.NET 3.5 applications in the best possible style.

The book will teach you ASP.NET 3.5 starting with core concepts to more advanced topics. You will learn

  • Core concepts of ASP.NET 3.5. Why it’s special. What it’s fundamental principals are. The basics of Visual Studio. How ASP.NET 3.5 controls are created, and how they fit into ASP.NET 3.5 pages, ultimately creating full applications
  • Data access details. The intricacies of ADO.NET and how to perform data binding to many sources from databases to file streams to XML. We include LINQ coverage so you’re on the bleeding edge
  • Security. Once considered the Achilles heel of all Windows web applications, security has vastly improved and is a cornerstone of ASP.NET 3.5. This section explains the various forms of available security, and how to best apply them
  • Taking things further using advanced user interface techniques. This includes user controls, customer server controls, client–side JavaScript, and GDI+.
  • Web services. In an increasingly connected world, working with web services grows in importance. This book will show you how to work with them.
  • ASP.NET AJAX, with an emphasis on comtemporary web development techniques
  • Development using Internet Information Services 7, Microsoft’s premier web hosting platform.
  • And much more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Recommend this book for any one who wants to learn core asp.net as well as Linq, Silverlight and IIS 7 for getting a kick start, November 21, 2007
By Rajesh Kanaparti (Boise, ID USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Pro ASP.net 3.5: This book is a must to have book for anyone who is starting/ switching their careers to developing web applications using asp.net technologies. The authors Matthew MacDonald and Mario Szpuszta, has done a very good job of covering all sections that are useful for beginners as well as middle level developers.

For example, if you are seeing Visual Studio for the first time in your life, they dedicated a whole chapter on how to use visual studio. The reason I brought up this point is they kept the beginners in mind and they didn't leave any assumptions that the reader already know how to use Visual Studio.

At the same time for those middle level developers who wants to dive into newly released hot technologies like Ajax, LINQ and Silverlight you won't be disappointed. They have dedicated individual chapters for each of those topics. As I have been developing asp.net application from last several years, I opened this book to see what I can read about Linq and Silverlight. I enjoyed those chapters as they give you an introduction and a good kick start. I am surprised that the authors also dedicated a whole chapter for website deployment (Chapter 18) where the architectures of IIS 5.0, 6.0 and then 7.0 is explained. That is awesome that they have discussed installation of IIS 7.0 and explained the architecture as well as the new Configuration model of IIS 7.0. Everything is explained with the help of screen shots.

Of course I took for granted for all those core concepts of asp.net like developing Http Handlers, Http Modules, Customer Server controls, Custom Membership and profile providers, Security. They are all covered and are very well explained in individual chapters.

Given the broadness of the subject, the authors done a great job of covering all areas in depth methodically that way you won't be lost.

I enjoyed this book so much that I would definitely recommend this book to any .Net Web Developer and this book is going to take some space on my desk.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have Book, December 31, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This book is an excellent resource for learning ASP.NET 3.5. It also serves as a great reference.

It is a comprehensive book that covers all of .NET 3.5, not just the new features in .NET 3.5, but all the features that have been there over the last several releases.

Mathew includes chapters on Linq, ASP.NET AJAX, and Silverlight. If you only want to learn about the new features in .NET 3.5, buy separate books on ASP.NET AJAX and Silverlight. Mathew does a great job of putting Linq into it proper place within a common ASP.NET 3.5 Architecture. So far he has done this best job of this I have seen in a book.

One reviewer on Amazon pointed out that the book has a lot of material from previous versions. That is to be expected since all the previous versions are included in the technology. Like I said above, this book covers everything.

Mathew does a great job relating everything to real world scenarios. He also provides very usable code samples.

If you are developing in ASP.NET 3.5, this is a must have book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not the best for a Professional, December 30, 2007
Truly not the best book for me only two chapters are from asp.net 3.0, the rest are copied over from asp.net 2.0 by the same author. I was disappointed because I have read these chapters before . If you're new to c# this may be the best book for you but for a professional c# developer not the best.
