This book has provided me with the information to jump right into
creating web applications with Visual Basic. It is an excellent training
guide and at the same time, it provides real-world examples that can be
reused in multiple projects and applications. (A developer's comment on
the previous edition of Murach's ASP.NET, posted online)Already know
how to code in Visual Basic 2010? Then, master web programming with
this .NET 4 edition of the ASP.NET book that's a favorite of developers.
It teaches beginners how to develop web applications from scratch,
while more seasoned professionals use it as a time-saving guide whenever
they need the "how-to" details that take forever to find online.
Here's a quick rundown on what developers have always liked best about this book:
#1: Complete applications show you how all the pieces interact
The
key to mastering ASP.NET 4 is to have plenty of real-world applications
that guide you in using the skills you're learning...and that help you
avoid the problems that you can run into as you build complex web sites.
That's why this book gives you complete applications, including the web
forms, the aspx code, and the VB code. Download the applications for free from the Murach website, and experiment with them on your own to see how valuable they are.
#2: It gives you a 6-chapter section on database programming that's geared to business applications
Database
handling is crucial in business programming, yet it's glossed over in
just a chapter or two in many books. In contrast, this 6-chapter section
teaches you how to use SQL data sources and ASP.NET data controls to
develop database applications with little or no VB code. Then, it
teaches how to use object data sources to create 3-layer applications
that let you separate the presentation code from the data access code.
And each topic is illustrated using examples like maintenance and
shopping cart applications...the kind of database applications you'll
deal with every day.
#3: It teaches you ASP.NET development the way it should be done, using Visual Studio 2010
The
1.x edition of this book was one of the first to teach web development
using Visual Studio instead of tools like Notepad. Today, no developer
should miss out on the productivity features of Visual Studio 2010. So
they're integrated throughout this book, rather than being relegated to
just a chapter or two at the beginning.
#4: It teaches you ASP.NET 4 features when they're appropriate, not just convenient
In
contrast to some books, the ASP.NET 4 features haven't just been tacked
onto the chapters from the previous .NET 3.5 edition. Instead, author
Anne Boehm has carefully analyzed how the changes affect the way you
develop web applications and what you need to learn when. That means
this book integrates the new material with the classic ASP.NET features
that haven't changed, giving you a cohesive, fluid approach to learning web programming the way it's done today.
#5: The distinctive paired-pages format* makes learning...and reference...a breeze
A
few years ago, a customer used the term "paired pages" to describe our
presentation style, and the name has stuck. It means that this book
presents each topic in a two-page spread. The right page gives screen
shots, code, syntax, bulleted details whatever is needed to illustrate
and summarize the topic; the left page provides extra explanation and
perspective as needed. That makes it easy for developers at any level to
skim through material they already know and focus on what's new to
them. It means less reading for everyone. And it makes the book a quick
and easy-to-use reference guide once you're done training.
(*To see how the paired pages work, you can download free chapters from the Murach web site.)
