This book is for anyone who wants to learn how to build rich and interactive
web sites that run on the Microsoft platform. With the knowledge you gain
from this book, you create a great foundation to build any type of web site,
ranging from simple hobby-related web sites to sites you may be creating for
commercial purposes. Anyone new to web programming should be able to follow
along because no prior background in web development is assumed although it
helps if you do have a basic understanding of HTML and the web in general.
The book starts at the very beginning of web development by showing you how
to obtain and install Visual Web Developer. The chapters that follow gradually
introduce you to new technologies, building on top of the knowledge gained in
the previous chapters. Do you have a strong preference for Visual Basic over C#
or the other way around? Or do you think both languages are equally cool?
Or maybe you haven't made up your mind yet and want to learn both languages?
Either way, you'll like this book because all code examples are presented in
both languages! Even if you have some experience with prior versions of ASP.NET,
you may gain a lot from this book. Although many concepts from previous versions
are brought forward into ASP.NET 4, you'll discover there's a lot of new stuff
to be found in this book, including an introduction to the ADO.NET Entity
Framework, the inclusion of jQuery, ASP.NET AJAX, the many changes to
the ASP.NET 4 Framework, and much more. This book teaches you how to create
a feature-rich, data-driven, and interactive web site called Planet Wrox.
Although this is quite a mouthful, you'll find that with Visual Web
Developer 2010, developing such a web site isn't as hard as it seems. You'll
see the entire process of building a web site, from installing Visual Web
Developer 2010 in Chapter 1 all the way up to putting your web application on
a live server in Chapter 19. The book is divided into 19 chapters, each dealing
with a specific subject.
