About this title

About the Author

Anne Prince is an outstanding programmer, editor, and writer who played a key role in the development of our COBOL, CICS, and DB2 books. During the last four years, however, she has specialized in Visual Basic and .NET programming. She has authored or co-authored our books on VB6, VB.NET, ADO.NET, and this ASP.NET book.

Doug Lowe wrote our best-selling CICS, JCL, and TSO books back in the 80s and early 90s. He then freelanced for a decade. Now, he has rejoined us as a .NET expert and the co-author of our ADO.NET book and "Murach’s ASP.NET web programming with VB.NET."

From the Inside Flap

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM A MURACH BOOK

Each time we develop a new programming book, we have one overriding goal in mind: To make it the best book on its subject. To make sure that happens, we develop all of our books inhouse with a small staff of professional programmers and writers. We pack our books with business applications and training features that you won t find in other books. And we won t let schedule or budget compromise our standards of excellence.

Now, I m proud to publish this ASP.NET book because it s another "best" book. If you know the basics of VB programming, this one book will teach you everything you need to know to develop professional web applications. And after you ve used it as a tutorial, our unique "paired pages" format makes it the best ASP.NET reference book that money can buy.

THERE IS NO FASTER OR BETTER WAY TO LEARN ASP.NET WEB PROGRAMMING THAN TO USE THIS BOOK

Section 1: Develop your first ASP.NET web applications

To get you off to a fast start, the first 5 chapters show you how to use Visual Studio to design, code, and test multi-page web applications that use view state, session state, cookies, database data, and code-behind files. This is the essence of ASP.NET programming, and this prepares you for rapid progress in building your professional skills.

Section 2: More ASP.NET features you ll use every day

Learn how to use HTML with ASP.NET applications how to use the rest of the Web Server and validation controls how to use additional forms of state management and how to create and use user controls (a great feature for simplifying and reusing code). These are crucial features that you ll need for most ASP.NET applications.

Section 3: Database handling with ADO.NET

Learn how to use the ADO.NET features you need for sophisticated database handling in your ASP.NET applications, including connection pooling, data commands, parameterized queries, caching, data views, bound and unbound controls, and command builders. Then, learn how to use three Web Server controls that are designed for working with databases.

Section 4: Finishing touches for professional applications

Learn the rest of the skills you need for e-commerce applications, like how to create and use web services, how to secure an application, how to develop custom server controls, how to generate reports using Crystal Reports and display them in a web form, and how to send email. Then, learn how to deploy a web application on a remote web server.
