ASP.NET 3.5 For Dummies

ASP.NET 3.5 For Dummies is an all new version of the popular title that
makes it easy for beginners to create dynamic, data-driven Web
applications on the Microsoft platform. Wherever possible the book
minimizes the amount of code you write by harnessing powerful
design-time tools built into Visual Web Developer 2008 and its free
version, Visual Web Developer 2008 Express. Where coding is required,
the author walks you through the details using familiar concepts from
everyday life. The book includes many examples of "geekspeak"
terminology so you'll feel comfortable in a conversation with
professional ASP.NET programmers. ASP.NET developers will benefit as
well because the book integrates the new features of ASP.NET 3.5 into
the text and sample code. These include LINQ queries, ASP.NET AJAX,
extension methods, Silverlight, and the new ListView control. Using
realistic examples in VB, you learn to create pages that incorporate the
major ASP.NET controls and features. Coverage includes:
