This book is for anyone who wants to learn how to build rich and
interactive web sites that run on the Microsoft platform. With the
knowledge you gain from this book, you create a great foundation to
build any type of web site, ranging from simple hobby-related web sites
to sites you may be creating for commercial purposes.
Anyone new to web programming should be able to follow along
because no prior background in web development is assumed. The book
starts at the very beginning of web development by showing you how to
obtain and install Visual Web Developer. The chapters that follow
gradually introduce you to new technologies, building on top of the
knowledge gained in the previous chapters.
Do you have a strong preference for Visual Basic over C# or the
other way around? Or do you think both languages are equally cool? Or
maybe you haven’t made up your mind yet and want to learn both
languages? Either way, you’ll like this book because all code examples are presented in both languages!
Even if you’re already familiar with previous versions of ASP.NET, with the 1.x
versions in particular, you may gain a lot from this book. Although
many concepts from ASP.NET 2.0 are brought forward into ASP.NET 3.5,
you’ll discover there’s a host of new stuff to be found in this book,
including an introduction to LINQ, the new CSS and JavaScript debugging
tools, new ASP.NET controls, and integrated support for ASP.NET Ajax.
To build effective and attractive database-driven web sites,
you need two things: a solid and fast framework to run your web pages
on and a rich and extensive environment to create and program these web
pages. With ASP.NET 3.5 and Visual Web Developer 2008 you get both.
Together they form the platform to create dynamic and interactive web applications.
ASP.NET 3.5 builds on top of its popular predecessor ASP.NET 2.0. While
maintaining backward compatibility with sites built using this older
version, the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 in general and ASP.NET 3.5 in
particular add a lot of new, compelling features to the mix.
Continuing the path of “less code” that was entered with the
2.0 version of the .NET Framework, ASP.NET 3.5 lets you accomplish more
with even less code. New features like LINQ that are added to the .NET
Framework allow you to access a database with little to no hand written
code. The integration of Microsoft ASP.NET Ajax into the ASP.NET
Framework and Visual Web Developer means you can now create fast
responding and spiffy web interfaces simply by dragging a few controls
onto your page and setting a few properties. This book gives you an
in-depth look at both these technologies.
The support for cascading style sheets (CSS), the language to
lay out and format web pages, has undergone a major overhaul in Visual
Web Developer. The design time support, that shows you how a page will
eventually look in the browser, has been vastly improved. Additionally,
Visual Web Developer now ships with a lot of tools that make writing
CSS a breeze.
However, drag-and-drop support and visual tools are not the
only things you’ll learn from this book. ASP.NET 3.5 and Visual Web
Developer 2008 come with a great and extensive set of tools to help you
program your web applications. These tools range from the new LINQ
syntax that allows you to query data and databases in your web
applications, to the vastly improved debugging capabilities that allow
you to debug your application from client-side JavaScript all the way
up into your server-side code, all with the same familiar user
interface, commands, and actions.
Under the hood, ASP.NET 3.5 makes use of the same run-time as
version 2.0. This ensures a great backward compatibility with that
version, which means that ASP.NET 2.0 applications continue to run
under the new framework. But don’t be fooled by the fact that the
run-time hasn’t changed. Although the technical underpinnings needed to
execute your web application haven’t changed, the .NET 3.5 Framework
and ASP.NET add a lot of new features, as you’ll discover in this book.
Probably the best thing of Visual Web Developer 2008 is its price: it’s
available for free. Although the commercial versions of Visual Studio
2008 ship with Visual Web Developer, you can also download and install
the free Express Edition. This makes Visual Web Developer 2008 and
ASP.NET 3.5 probably the most attractive and compelling web development
technologies available today.
This book teaches you how to create a feature-rich,
data-driven, and interactive web site. Although this is quite a
mouthful, you’ll find that with Visual Web Developer 2008 this isn’t as
hard as it seems. You’ll see the entire process of building a web site,
from installing Visual Web Developer 2008 in Chapter 1 all the way up
to putting your web application on a live server in Chapter 18. The
book is divided into 18 chapters, each dealing with a specific subject.
