Maximizing Asp.Net

ASP.NET has been perhaps the most popular and widely used part ofMicrosoft's .NET Framework. Part of the reason for this is that ASP.NET'sobject-oriented basis provided a lot more power and flexibility for developers.Another contradictory reason is that Microsoft made ASP.NET in such a waythat people familar with previous versions of ASP didn't need to make thejump to object-oriented programming, the way that VB developers did to moveto VB.NET. As a result there are a whole lot of ASP.NET developers out therewho are only scratching the surface of its potential. In this book Jeffrey Putzexplains the architecture and underlying concepts of ASP.NET in a way thatencourages developers to make the leap to OOP. He also encouragesdevelopers to make some fairly radical changes from their old scripting ways,by showing how much easier and faster application development can be doneby using OOP. He does all this with a graceful style that advance reviewers areraving about. He puts ASP.NET into a context that moves the programmerbeyond the how and into the why , not just explaining the concepts, butdemonstrating that they are the best way to solve real problems. Throughoutthe course of the book both ASP.NET 1.1 and ASP.NET 2.0 are covered.
