Pro ASP.NET Web Forms Techniques - 2nd Edition by Alex Homer (Paperback)

About the Book

Introduction of .NET 2.0 will push developers to master new coding techniques and standards, such as Master Pages and Generics. More than a collection of ASP.NET 2.0 language tips, this book helps you deal with ancillary techniques, new browsers and more.

Book Synopsis

This book aims to examine the possibilities for developing user interfaces that are driven by ASP.NET. It attempts to discuss and explore a range of techniques and approaches predominantly for creating Web sites and Web pages. This edition has been completely updated for ASP .NET 1.1 and Visual Studio 2003.

Homer shows readers how to build a site that allows the user to choose, customize and purchase a new car or truck from the world-famous "Xrox Car Company". To do so, he focuses on the steps of requirements-analysis and design (though not in extreme detail), followed by planning and mapping out the site.

Once the basic design in is place, "Pro ASP.NET Web Forms Techniques, Second Edition" will take a look at the development of the various resources that make up the complete site. It won't concentrate on the backend data processing tasks in any more detail than needed in order to get the site running. This book concentrates on the user interfaces, and using fairly simple data access techniques. You won't see detailed discussions of the workings of all of the .NET data access classes, or the long diatribes on catching and reporting concurrency errors.

About the Author

Alex Homer is a computer geek and web developer with a passion for ASP.NET. Although he has to spend some time doing real work (a bit of consultancy and training, and the occasional conference session), most of his days are absorbed in playing with the latest Microsoft web technology and then writing about it. Living in the picturesque wilderness of the Derbyshire Dales in England, he's well away from the demands of the real world�with only an Internet connection to maintain some distant representation of normality.
