ASP.NET 1.0 is the final release of Microsoft's Active
Server Pages (ASP). It is a powerful server-based technology designed
to create dynamic, interactive, HTML pages for web sites and corporate
intranets. ASP.NET is a core element of Microsoft's exciting .NET
vision, building on the strengths of the .NET Framework to provide
many new features not seen in previous versions of ASP.
This book, entirely revised and updated for the final release, will
provide you with a step-by-step introduction to ASP.NET using C#, with
plenty of worked examples to help you to gain a deep understanding of
what ASP.NET is all about, and how you can harness it to build
powerful web applications.
This book covers:
* Creating basic ASP.NET pages with C#
* Understanding the concepts of Object Oriented Programming
* Working with Data and XML
* Debugging and handling Errors in your Code
* Using ASP.NET Server Controls
* Creating User Controls and Components
* Exploring the world of Web Services
* Optimizing Performance
* Securing your Application
This book is aimed at relatively inexperienced web builders who are looking to enrich their sites with dynamically-generated content, and want to learn how to start building web applications using ASP.NET. Developers who have a little experience with previous versions of ASP (and are looking to move over to ASP.NET), may also find this book helpful in getting a simple grasp on what ASP.NET is, what it does, and how it can be used. Experience of basic HTML is required, but previous experience of ASP is not essential. We'll be teaching the basics of C# in this book, so prior experience with the language is not required.
This is one of two editions of Beginning ASP.NET 1.0. This version presents all code examples in C#. A VB .NET version of the same title (Beginning ASP.NET using VB .NET, ISBN: 1-861007-33-7) is also available.
