ASP.NET Cookbook (Paperback)

Description:

Developers who want to create dynamic, data-driven web sites running on Microsoft web servers have long relied on Active Server Pages (ASP). ASP.NET is Microsoft's latest evolution of ASP. While ASP.NET has a lot in common with its predecessor, this new technology takes advantage of object-oriented programming to dramatically improve developer productivity and convenience. Using the .NET Framework and Microsoft's new object-oriented languages, ASP.NET brings the same rapid drag-and-drop productivity to web applications that the Visual Basic programming language brought to Windows applications. ASP.NET also introduces web services, which allow developers to expose the functionality of an application via HTTP and XML, so that clients on any platform can access it via the Internet. ASP.NET is not a simple upgrade of ASP. It s a quantum leap ahead. There are many benefits to using ASP.NET, and one major drawback: the time developers must devote to mastering this new Web application technology.

The ASP.NET Cookbook provides a wealth of plug-and-play solutions to problems commonly encountered when developing ASP.NET web applications and services in the popular problem-solution-discussion Cookbook format. The coding solutions in ASP.NET Cookbook appeal to a wide range of developers, from the inexperienced to the expert. For every problem addressed in the book, there's a worked-out solution or recipe a short, focused piece of code that web developers can insert directly into their applications. Developers can save hours by using just a single one of over 100 recipes included in this invaluable cookbook.

But the ASP.NET Cookbook provides far more than just a wide range of cut-and-paste code solutions. Each recipe is followed by a discussion including tips, tricks, and possible pitfalls--so developers can learn to adapt the problem-solving techniques to a myriad of similar situations. Each recipe provides an immediate solution to a pressing problem, while simultaneously allowing developers who prefer to a hands-on learning style with the experience they need to master ASP.NET. This ultimate ASP.NET code sourcebook will quickly earn the dog-eared corners and coffee rings that mark a web developer's most valued resource.

描述：
開發人員想要在Microsoft的Web伺服器上建立動態的、資料驅動的網站，長期以來一直依賴於Active Server Pages (ASP)。ASP.NET是Microsoft對ASP的最新演進。雖然ASP.NET與其前身有很多共同之處，但這項新技術利用物件導向編程大幅提高了開發人員的生產力和便利性。使用.NET Framework和Microsoft的新物件導向語言，ASP.NET將快速的拖放生產力帶到Web應用程式，就像Visual Basic編程語言帶給Windows應用程式一樣。ASP.NET還引入了Web服務，允許開發人員通過HTTP和XML公開應用程式的功能，以便任何平台上的客戶端都可以通過Internet訪問它。ASP.NET不僅僅是ASP的簡單升級，而是一個巨大的飛躍。使用ASP.NET有很多好處，但也有一個主要的缺點：開發人員必須花時間掌握這項新的Web應用程式技術。

《ASP.NET Cookbook》以流行的問題-解決方案-討論的烹飪書格式，提供了大量即插即用的解決方案，用於開發ASP.NET Web應用程式和服務時常遇到的問題。《ASP.NET Cookbook》中的編碼解決方案適用於各種開發人員，從沒有經驗的人到專家都可以使用。對於書中涉及的每個問題，都有一個解決方案或食譜，這是一段短小而專注的程式碼，Web開發人員可以直接插入到他們的應用程式中。開發人員可以通過使用這本寶貴的烹飪書中的100多個食譜之一，節省數小時的時間。

但《ASP.NET Cookbook》提供的不僅僅是各種剪貼程式碼解決方案。每個食譜後面都有一個討論，包括技巧、技巧和可能的陷阱，這樣開發人員就可以學習將問題解決技術適應於各種類似情況。每個食譜都提供了一個立即解決問題的解決方案，同時也讓喜歡實踐學習風格的開發人員獲得掌握ASP.NET所需的經驗。這本終極的ASP.NET程式碼資源書將迅速成為網頁開發人員最寶貴的資源，上面會有狗耳書角和咖啡圈。
