Cristian Darie, Wyatt Barnett “Build Your Own ASP.NET 3.5 Website Using C# & VB, 3 Ed.”

SitePoint | English | 2008-09-28 | ISBN: 0980455219 | 800 pages | PDF | 19,3 MB

ASP.NET allows Web Developers to create dynamic, interactive Websites very efficiently thanks to multiple built-in controls and features built into the ASP.NET language.

ASP.NET 3.5 is a great leap forward since its first incarnation. In addition to a massively improved performance, it also provides much more to aid developers’ productivity, including better AJAX integration and new ListView and DataPager controls. The third edition of this book reflects all these changes, as well as Visual Studio 2008.

Readers liked the original books for their comprehensive coverage, liberal code samples, and the practicality of developing an entire intranet application using freely available tools and software.
