PROFESSIONAL ASP.NET 3.5 IN C# AND VB details from flipkart

Professional ASP.NET 3.5 continues to set the standard for ASP.NET established by the earlier 2.0 version of this book. Updated for the latest release of Visual Studio, the author team of Bill Evjen (INETA Founder and former president), Scott Hanselman (well known for his www.computerzen.com and Devin Rader (a well known technology evangelist and developer speaker) add 500 pages of great new content compared to the original 2.0 version of the book.

The 3.5 edition retains many great features from the 2.0 version, including both printed and downloadable VB and C# code examples and great feature coverage of core ASP.NET. The ASP.NET 3.5 version focuses even more on experienced programmers and advanced web development. It eliminates 2 introductory chapters more suitable for beginners and eliminates some language coverage that is available to readers in their choice of Wrox's Professional C# or Professional VB books.

The more than 500 pages of new coverage for this edition include:

• 2 all new ASP.NET AJAX chapters
• New chapter on IIS 7 development
• New chapter on Visual Studio's new built-in CSS editing features for ASP.NET web development
• New chapter on LINQ and LINQ examples throughout the rest of the data chapters
• A new chapter for advanced ASP.NET developers doing application design on the ASP.NET lifecycle including n-tier web application design
• A new appendix on .NET tools from Scott Hanselman's popular blog feature on .NET development tools
• A new appendix on Silverlight for the visual display of data with cross-platform capabilities
• New coverage of WCF in ASP.NET web services
• Increased coverage based on reader request on ASP.NET and XML, security in ASP.NET applications, and SQL Server 2005.
