Overview

‘Learn how to build impressive ASP.NET web sites in both C# and VB from scratch using freely available software’

ASP.NET is one of the most widely adopted and powerful web application platforms available today. It’s becoming increasingly important for web developers to expand their skills and learn the ins and outs of this technology, which is now used by major organizations such as Accenture, Compaq, AIG, Disney, Adobe, Dell, Ford, and many others.

Using a practical step-by-step approach, the authors of Build Your Own ASP.NET 2.0 Web Site Using C# & VB, 2nd Edition show you how to obtain, install and configure the software you’ll need. They then introduce the ASP.NET framework, VB and C#, and guide you through the process of building a fully functional web application. All you need to get started is an understanding of HTML and the basics of web site design – you won’t need to spend a cent on software.

This second edition of this bestselling ASP.NET book has been completely revised for ASP.NET 2.0, with greatly expanded coverage of best practice techniques like code-behind, usage of Visual Web Developer and SQL Server Express Edition, and coverage of powerful new ASP.NET 2.0 functionality, including the GridView control and Master Pages.

What Will You Learn?

In particular, you will learn how to:

• Install the free software that you need.
• Use Visual Web Developer.
• Program in both VB and C#.
• Write best practice code and use code-behind.
• Use CSS to style your ASP.NET pages.
• Build a complete web application: the Dorknozzle intranet site.
• Validate input using the Validation Controls.
• Learn database design and SQL using SQL Server Express Edition.
• Manage page content using the GridView and DetailsView controls.
• Secure your applications with Memberships and Roles.
• Work with files and email.

What Customers Said About The First Edition

"It is exactly what I need to get me up to speed in ASP.NET. The dual language approach is a great touch."

- John Haas

“The very fact that I am a .NET developer today is because of this book. I wanted a book to kick off my ambitions to develop my own web site and, coming from a Java background, I required a solid understanding from basics. ”

“If your requirement matches anywhere close to mine look no further and get this book. Even to this day I refer back to some of the chapters.”

- Sharath Chandra M.G

“The thing I value the most is that while it has the casual, accessible style common to many ‘introductory’ books, unlike those books it also has depth and substance. It tackles ‘Real World’ rather than "Hello World" tasks.

“I’m still using it as a reference book long after I would have abandoned most other "introductory" books.”

- David Grieve

“I have been reading the book for the past 4 weeks now and I must say that the book is very well written. All the necessary concepts on web development have been very well explained in the simplest manner possible. Despite the high degree of technicality involved in the subject, Zak Ruvalcaba has managed to put it across in the simplest way possible. I don't think that anybody who reads the book would ever have any problems. Even an expert can learn a lot of things from this book.”

- Shivendra Lal
