Back Cover Copy


Many developers are already familiar with the basics of ASP.NET and have been impressed with its potential to ease the creation of Web applications. However, few resources exist for those looking to translate their knowledge of ASP.NET into tailored solutions for actual challenges developers face on a daily basis.

Enter ASP.NET Solutions--23 Case Studies, the authoritative guide for real-world solutions, design patterns, and best practices using the .NET framework and C# and VB .NET languages. Honed through training programs for seasoned developers, the book's case studies demonstrate how to build more than twenty different applications using various aspects of ASP.NET. Each chapter builds on those that came before, allowing readers to advance their programming skills by applying the technology to increasingly complex projects.

The applications in this book can save developers time and money by providing the foundation for applications such as:

• Use ADO.NET to create a technical support application--Chapter 4
• Build an online store by creating custom server controls--Chapter 8
• Use XML to create a guest book application--Chapter 9
• Manage a dynamic ad banner using NT services--Chapter 12
• Create a feedback tracking section using data mining--Chapter 15
• Enable speech on the Web--Chapter 21

A companion Web site, www.ASPNET-Solutions.com, provides working source code that can easily be modified to meet your specific needs. The site also offers demos, additional solutions, and a forum where readers can pose questions and swap tips.

Developers are hungry to realize the full potential of the ASP.NET platform. ASP.NET Solutions--23 Case Studies moves beyond concepts to provide expertise gained in the trenches to help readers find effective solutions to common problems.

Reader Reviews
This book is one of the few books that is reminiscent of the many titles that were published in the glory days of ASP Classic, being "plug and play" books that had independent bits of code you could rip and start working with immediately. I'll admit that I hadn't heard of Rick Leinecker before this book came out, but I'm a big fan now. While the title's main draw is to give a developer a series of diverse applications, it presents the information in a way in which many of us admittedly still program - on a per-script level, without all being tied into one major application. The code is documented nicely and explained well. Also, examples like the Microsoft ASP.NET Forums and dynamic charting script author Leinecker use a more enterprise approach, each being component-driven sub-applications. While the book's subtitle denotes "best practices" (which is somewhat argumentative when dissecting the code and methodologies used), it is a quick read, with lots of helpful info. And it does a great job of doing what it says - giving a developer quick, easy access to 23 different types of applications with which to deploy in web environments. The SpeechVB application was also a neat addition. So if you're looking for a title that just gives you a jumpstart on getting working code, grab this book. Comment | | (Report this)
