Programming ASP.NET 2.0 with the Public Beta
by Lorenz Lorenz (9781590594001)

ASP 2.0 is a web site development tool that makes it much easier to create a site and connect to professional environments. Its a Portal software package that is packed with tools and controls that were previously bundled separately, and can now handle everything from mom and pop sites to full corporate. ASP 2.0 is the real driver behind Whidbeys existence.ASP.NET 2.0 Public Beta is the latest useable version of ASP.NET 2.0, and is due to be revealed to the public at Tech Ed in late May 2004. The book contains and extends the original "Alpha" edition, and goes further to cover real working code, advice, and instruction on the publicly available feature-set version of the Whidbey product. ASP.NET 2.0 Public Beta will be globally available from many web sites after Tech Ed and the potential readership will go from 10,000 PDC attendees to 250,000+ downloaders.The major public release of ASP.NET 2.0 will radically change ASP development. In addition to the aims of reducing code by half, the central features of the nearly-finished product are: Master Pages, Membership/Role and Personalization APIs, Site and Flow Navigation, Data Layer Intelligence - Pessimistic and Optimistic Data Binding and Control, Web Parts and Much More. With the help of a new provider model programmers can access popular legacy code out-of-the-box, or write their own providers for complex integration. There is renewed development environment for ASP.NET2 developers, which exposes all the 42 new controls and dozens of APIs for programmers use, extend or to do what they will, with the MS code in Visual Studio .NET.This book will have an expected shelf-life of 6 months, as there will be a updated release in December 2004/January 2005.
