Binding: PaperbackDewey Decimal Number: 005.276 EAN: 9780470187579 Edition: Pap/Onl ISBN: 0470187573 Label: Wrox Manufacturer: Wrox Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 1704 Publication Date: March 04, 2008 Publisher: Wrox Studio: Wrox Editorial Review: Product Description: Building on the revolutionary ASP.NET 2.0 release, ASP.NET 3.5 adds several key new developer features including AJAX, LINQ, and a new CSS designer in Visual Web Developer 2008. The dramatic reduction in code that developers realized from the more than 50 new server controls in ASP.NET 2.0 now allows developers the time to make their applications more interactive with AJAX, to work with data in their preferred language with LINQ, and to build visually attractive and consistent standards-based sites with CSS. Professional ASP.NET 3.5 helps the experienced programmer put these new technologies into action. Greatly expanded from the original best-selling Professional ASP.NET 2.0, Professional ASP.NET 3.5 covers all the key technologies retained from 2.0 in new depth alongside the hundreds of pages of coverage of the important new 3.5 features. Written by 3 of the most well-known and influential ASP.NET developers who were highly praised by ASP.NET creator Scott Guthrie for their ASP.NET 2.0 books, Professional ASP.NET 3.5 is the book you’ll learn the language from and turn to day after day as you write web applications. And as always, Professional ASP.NET 3.5 features language examples in the book and in the code download in both C# and VB! Key new coverage for ASP.NET 3.5 includes:

Who this book is for This book is for experienced programmers and developers who are looking to make the transition to ASP.NET 3.5. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Get a phonebook instead; it's freeI find it hard to believe the other reviews aren't plants by the publisher, or by people accidentally reviewing a similarly titled book. The introduction is full of documentation probably dumped from MSDN about obscure directives and their obscurer attributes. It reads like a phonebook. Writing the samples in both C# and VB is just another tactic to fill up 1600+ pages; here's one of the "gems" from the first chapter: VB If Page.IsPostBack = True Then 'Do Processing ... Read More Rating:  - Not the best book for ASP.NET 3.5This book is basically a re-branded ASP.NET 2.0 book. It covers a LINQ and IIS 7 just fine. When reading the book the authors spend too much time covering old 1.1 and 2.0 material instead of digging in deeper to the 3.5 topics. Buy this book in you need an overview of ASP.NET 2.0 with some 3.5 topics as well but there are better books out there. Usually Wrox book are great, this one just doesn't deliver with ASP.NET 3.5 Rating: - Excellent reference book for ASP.NET 3.5 (despite typos)Having read Imar Spaanjaar's Beginning ASP.NET 3.5: In C# and VB, I was expecting a number of good things from this book. Imar's book is really great in that he shows you how to build a Web application with ASP.NET 3.5. However, with Professional ASP.NET 3.5 In C# and VB, you instead get 1500+ page reference book. Now that's not necessarily a bad thing, but that does mean that if you want to get started with ASP.NET, pick up Imar's book first, or better still, too. Read More Rating: - Encyclopedic about elements, but not enough substanceShort commentary: The book is good and worth for your money. Long commentary: The book is good, however, it is not excellent. They have tried to mention all the relevant elements of ASP.NET 3.5, and they have succeeded; never the less, it is more or less just list of an elementary examples. The glue that would put all of them to real world use is not here, for such a book you will have to search other titles. I have also that kind of book, and - it has its own weaknesses. The ...

I very much recommend this book! |
