O’Reilly’s ASP.Net 2.0 with Ajax

d="filecontent">

ASP.Net is one of the most powerful frameworks in terms of usability. It has been the preferred program for most developers for years even when it was still in 1.0. With the release of 2.0, it promises to be another important landmark for web developers as they go through the old functions with newest additions to create better and stronger programs.

Aside from the powerful functionality, it’s really easy to get acquainted with the product especially for experienced programmers. For beginners, it should take longer but once they get acquainted it’s one powerful to use in any website or programs. However, the version 2.0 is so much more than what it has. With the integration of Ajax, it’s not just enough to be familiar with the functions but combination of codes is already a must. A professional may be able to handle the functions and carry on using a simple program but it will not be able to fully open the potential of the product’s update, most especially Ajax. Recently, another book of the O’Reilly series was released and it will tackle the same concerns of most developers regarding the latest release of ASP.Net. Authors of this latest installment are Brian MacDonald Jesse Liberty and Dan Hurwitz – all three have collaborated in one of the books in O’Reilly series in the past. This book can easily become the authority when it comes to the latest installment of ASP.Net framework. The functions of the framework are carefully laid out so that readers may easily understand the ideas and apply them almost immediately to their ideal program they are creating. The book takes on a very simplistic stand on the creation of web-based programs. They are going to introduce the user to the idea of programming and fast track you to ASP.Net framework. If you’re feeling rusty in your basics about ASP.Net this book should probably cover more than what you’ll need to refresh yourself with ASP.Net. The book will also tackle in length, the Ajax programming. With the internet waiting for Ajax to go out of “shell” and inhabit almost all parts of our web experience, every programmer should be equipped even with the basic knowledge of the internet. The downside of the book is that it could be too simplistic. The tool that will be discussed will only be limited to Visual Studio and Visual Web Developers. These very simple tools may not come as a surprise for some since they are both products of Microsoft, but there are other programs that can be integrated with this framework. But for beginners, this could be a great experience if they want to get serious with these programs. Overall, the book will get you started in understanding the latest updates in ASP.Net 2.0. With tools, guides and free codes that you can use, it should be no problem for developers to follow up their knowledge. As the authors describe the framework and tools in their press conference, "One of the wonderful characteristics of the tools and the technology you'll be using is that you'll be able to create your applications with drag and drop programming and just a little bit of hand coding to handle 'events.'"
