Synopsis

Welcome to Pro ASP.NET 2.0 in VB 2005, Special Edition. In this book, you'll learn how ASP.NET 2.0 really works. You won't be bored with a rehash of the Visual Basic 2005 language; instead, you'll get the hard-won practical advice that you need to build sophisticated, scalable websites. New features are clearly identified, so if you've programmed with a previous version of ASP.NET, you'll sail through the basics and get right to the most important changes and enhancements.

You'll also dig into advanced topics that other ASP.NET books leave out, like custom control creation, image handling, and encryption. You'll spend two complete chapters learning to make highly responsive pages with Ajax techniques and exploring Microsoft's next-generation Atlas platform. There's no better way to prepare for the future of the Web.

For this Special Edition of the book, we've also included a bonus CD containing a host of valuable extras to help you really get to grips with the technology:

• A carefully selected library of chapters from 8 other Apress Pro and Expert titles designed to complement this book and broaden your knowledge of ASP.NET 2.0, C# 2005, VB 2005, and SQL Server 2005. That's over 2,000 information-rich pages in eBook form. All fully supported with code samples on apress.com.
• An eBook copy of ASPToday.com on ASP.NET 2.0 containing 33 articles covering ASP.NET 2.0 and SQL Server 2005 from Apress ASPToday website. ASPToday specializes in publishing quality articles for ASP developers. This is the first time this material is being made available in eBook form.
