This is a practical introduction to the fundamentals of .NET Web development for experienced programmers who are now learning .NET. Using rich code examples, this book covers the entire process of .NET Web development, and all the relevant technologies, from ASP.NET to XML. The authors offer a concise review of traditional Web development, then demonstrate the value .NET adds for those building advanced Web applications and services. After introducing .NET’s key languages, they present a straightforward migration path from current technologies to ASP.NET, ADO.NET and VB.NET. Coverage includes: .NET framework and architecture; the role of XML, SOAP, and UDDI in .NET development; new techniques such as object remoting; and interoperability with non-.NET systems. The book’s key concepts are tied together through a case study that is shared by other books in this .NET series from Object Innovations and Prentice Hall PTR — giving readers a jumpstart when they’re ready for other books in the series.
Customer Review: Terrific book
This book is proposed for the experienced programmers who are not necessarily familiar with .NET. The book introduces the fundamentals of Web technology in a straightforward and crisp way. This book is also perfect for programmers who have basic knowledge in programming languages such as Visual Basic, C/C++, Jscript and Java, who may or may not have Web programming experience.this book is clearly defined, in-depth, example-rich, provides a hands on guide to Fundamentals of Web Applications Using .NET and XML. Using real-world examples and a detailed case study, this book helps you master the Web Programming using .NET. Buy Now!

A revolution in developing software is coming and it’s called the .NET Framework. This broad Microsoft strategy opens doors to exciting new concepts such as Web services, which deliver the software you create as services that dish out data via XML over the Net. ASP.NET and ADO.NET are key elements to this new approach, improving the efficiency of Web page coding and database access respectively. Programming Data-Driven Web Applications with ASP.NET provides an excellent introduction to this brave new world of database-driven Web development for seasoned and novice programmers alike.

The book dives into ASP.NET with a breakdown of its new features such as server side controls and event handling, Web services and session state management. It then clearly points out the advantages of ADO.NET–interoperability, a strong-typed programming model, higher disconnected performance, and better scalability. Readers will learn about managed providers and get a tutorial on ANSI SQL and the nitty gritty of database access. Plenty of example code is presented in both Visual Basic.NET and C#.

The book explains how XML and SOAP–the protocol for exchanging XML data–work together as the transmission mechanism behind the scenes of .NET applications. The centerpiece of this new architecture is the Web services feature, and this text covers this powerful Web-callable interface well. ASP.NET and ADO.NET require somewhat of a new programming mindset from previous coding platforms, but this easy-to-read tutorial provides an easy entry point. –Stephen W. Plain
