ASP.NET Developer's Guide

Overview

A comprehensive and authoritative guide to development with ASP.NET, Microsoft's ActiveServer Pages. It covers all the features and syntax of ASP.NET, and a special ASP.NET in Action part features the development of three full-fledged applications, including a product catalogue, shopping cart, and customer customization. This guide also addresses the critical issues of debugging and security. The CD contains all the code from the book, ready to run, plus additional application solutions not provided in the book.
