ASP NET 3 5 For Dummies [Dummies1337]

❂ ASP NET 3 5 For Dummies ❂
by Ken Cox (Author)




Did you volunteer to create a Web site for the softball team? Is it time to take your small business to the next level and let your customers shop online? Well, you can relax! ASP.NET 3.5 makes creating a dynamic site faster and cleaner than ever before, and ASP.NET 3.5 For Dummies makes it easier.

First, you’ll get an introduction to all the tools and terminology you need to understand ASP.NET. If you’ve used earlier versions of ASP.NET and Visual Web Developer, you can probably skip that part and jump right into what’s new in 3.5. You'll make friends with LINQ and SQL, create sites in Visual Web Developer 2008 Express, and much more. Before you know it, you’ll discover how to:


Integrate data, track shopping cart contents, and whisk away bugs

Create user interfaces with easy navigation

Use the ListView control for sophisticated formatting

Write LINQ queries

Add a table to a database

Create an event handler

Take advantage of the drag 'n' drop feature that lets you write less code

Put all the features to work to develop dynamic Web applications

The softball team is going to love that Web site, and your customers might enjoy shopping on your site so much that you’ll have to expand your business to fill all the orders! We can’t promise that, of course, but we’re pretty sure that ASP.NET 3.5 For Dummies will make creating Web sites easier and a lot more fun.




This is an excellent and enjoyable text for getting up to speed on ASP.NET 3.5. This step-by-step guide has numerous examples in VB (and C# versions on the author's site) that allows one to get practical exposure to the most current version of the ASP.NET technology. The book is well suited for both the beginner and anyone who has worked extensively with earlier versions of ASP.NET and needs a primer for getting up to speed on the ASP.NET 3.5 technology. Finally, the author Ken Cox is very responsive to questions regarding the examples shown in his book (he responded to my Email within a couple of hours). It is refreshing to see an author that takes so much pride in his work and produces such a fine, well written text.
