Welcome to ASP.NET Website Programming. In this book we will build an interactive, content-based website using expandable, interchangeable modules. By the end of the book you will have developed your ASP.NET skills for producing effective, well-engineered, extendable websites.
ASP.NET is a great tool for building websites. It contains many built-in features that would take thousands of lines of code in classic ASP. And it does not require admin rights in order to deploy compiled components - your whole site can be deployed in one folder.
This book will guide you through the bewildering features available to ASP.NET developers, highlighting the most useful and exciting.
The book concentrates on websites that focus on content. It does not show how to produce an e-commerce system, although a lot of the advice will apply to e-commerce sites. We could add a shopping basket module using the same foundations, for example.
This book is different to most Wrox books, because we build a single working website throughout the book. However, each chapter stands alone and shows how to develop individual modules, which you can adapt for your own websites. We also suggest a framework that allows us to create modules and slot them in to the website quickly and easily.
The book is for developers who have a reasonable knowledge of ASP.NET, and want to apply that knowledge to building websites. You will get the most from this book if you have read a decent amount of Wrox's Beginning ASP.NET using C#, or Professional ASP.NET and a C# book.
