Pro ASP.NET 2.0 in C# 2005
Matthew MacDonald
ASP.NET 2.0 is the latest version of Microsoft’s current ASP.NET 1.1 technology. ASP.NET 1.1 is fast becoming the accepted technology standard for creating dynamic web pages on the Windows platform, and is now used across the board from start-ups to blue-chip multi-national corporations. ASP.NET 2.0 is building on this solid foundation and adding new improvements. The new technology will be faster to code, offer a more powerful set of tools (i.e. MasterPages and Generics), and run faster when deployed, so that customers enjoy a significantly better user experience.  Pro ASP.NET 2.0 in C# follows the well-regarded Pro ASP.NET 1.1, rooted in the same best-practices and pragmatic style. Matthew MacDonald explains how ASP.NET 2.0 works for the professional programmer – covering both new innovations and the features carried over from the previous version. And while new features are important, MacDonald stresses the importance of the technology as a cohesive whole. His broad-based approach shows how all of the features inter-relate. This gives readers the solid understanding they need to code real applications.
