Learn the strategies that developers at Microsoft use to build great ASP.NET applications-and get their sample programs! This in-depth insider's guide shares the hard-won, hard-core coding experience of the Microsoft ASP.NET development team, revealing the most productive ways to exploit ASP.NET features and functionality to build dynamic Web solutions faster. From maximizing application scalability and performance to designing and implementing security features, you get the best practices, peer-to-peer advice, and reusable, real-world code to take your own Web development expertise to the next level. Discover how to: •Reduce coding time with server controls and data controls •Learn best practices for managing client, application, and request state •Use output caching and partial page caching to boost program functionality and scalability •Simplify development for mobile and handheld devices with ASP.NET mobile controls •Implement security features-including authentication, authorization, impersonation, server hardening, and code access security •Use debug and trace to troubleshoot bottlenecks before your site goes live •Know the steps for performance tuning-and where to invest your time for the biggest payoffs •Answer the "rewrite or integrate?" question when planning application migration strategy Annotation Description: 25-Word Description Hard-won, real-world knowledge for building world-class ASP.NET applications--based on the experiences of Microsoft developers who have worked with ASP.NET and Microsoft .NET for years. 75-Word Description Being at the forefront of developers working with ASP.NET is exciting, but coming up with coding solutions for the infinite opportunities ASP.NET offers can be a challenge. This in-depth technical tutorial--based on the hard-won experiences of Microsoft developers who have spent years working with ASP.NET and the Microsoft .NET Framework--provides ASP.NET developers with a wealth of concrete ideas on writing better ASP.NET code, faster. Full of inside tips and solid technical insights from the developers who have worked with ASP.NET the longest, this is the ideal resource for developers who want to take their ASP.NET applications to the next level of functionality. Positioning Statement: Get the coding strategies developers at Microsoft use to build great ASP.NET applications--with advice and reusable code samples straight from the source Lot of good theories, i wouldn't casll it a book of "strategies" though, the BIGGEST turn off is the sample-code, it only ships with .aspx page, no code-behind!!!!!!!!!!! It's all in-line coding (tradition ASP style) and you can not debug anything since there is no solution!!!! If you let IDE handle code-behind, it doesn't behave as expected :( I can not tell you HOW FRUSTRATING it is not to be able to "run" the code, all you can do is make a virtual directory, point it to the folder where you downloaded examples and then "look" the code by entering urls manually!!!! That is it!! It's REALLY annoying and i could've given negative rating but 1 was the lowest so.... anyways, i would not buy anything like this, i got this for free from microsoft seminar (No wonder it's free!! ;-) lolz) Save your time and money for something better :) In this chapter, we'll examine the ASP.NET page framework, but before we get into the details, lets look briefly at the big picture and history of Web development. Provides information on Web coding strategies with sample codes from the ASP.NET team at Microsoft. Matthew Gibbs, Rob Howard. Includes Index.
