ASP NET Developer s JumpStart
The following report compares books using the SERCount Rating (base on the result count from the search engine).
Rating: 3.89/5 from 18 reviews Clear and Concise!Highly RecommendedIf you are a VB/VBA developer you already know the names Ken Getz and Paul Sheriff. If you've been at it a while, you probably already have 'borrowed' some of their code for your own applications. "ASP.Net Developer's JumpStart" is a good solid reference and "how to" manual focused on the Visual Basic approach to ASP.Net. VBers will be immediately comfortable with the straight foreword style, simple examples and (refreshing) the VB style naming conventions. If your heritage is a case sensitive language (where Book and book are two different things), if you like to see lots of curly braces and overworked punctuation, then you really need this book to see how easy it is for the rest of us. Pat Tormey PE PerfectIt's really a very very useful tool for the people who want to master ASP.NET through specific examples. The book works like you have a live teacher who understands your thoughts and questions. The writting is extremely clear and focuses on what you expect to learn. I know Ken from the past (I own all Acces Dev. Hand Book series) and Paul from Access VB Adv. Mag. Here simply they continue a successful tradition. Congratualtions! | ||||||||||||||||||||
Whether or not you have some previous web programming experience, you will get alot out of this book. To get the most out of the book it is recommended that you have some previous programming experience in either Visual Basic 6 or VB.NET, however it is not required. It is also recommended that you have some familiarity with relational databases, such as Access or SQL Server.
The book is divided into four parts. Part one provides an introduction to ASP.NET and the .NET Framework. Part 2 covers data handling using ADO.NET, Web Forms, stored procedures, and other data handling tools. Part three teaches some additional web development techniques. You will learn how to use Crystal Reports to display information from a database, create user controls, state management, web security, and how to create mobile web applications. Finally, Part four shows how to create and consume XML Web Services.
I found the book extremely easy to read and understand. After reading the book and completing the ASP.NET sample application, you will have the knowledge and confidence to begin building your own ASP.NET web applications.
