Beginning Asp.Net in Vb .Net : From Novice to Professional

This book assumes only basic knowledge of VB .NET (although it contains a review of what is needed for those coming from a different background). But, by the end of it, the reader will have mastered the core knowledge needed to begin work as a professional ASP.NET developer. It places special emphasis on the techniques such as "code behind", that professionals need. ASP.NET is the replacement for Microsoft's Active Server Page (ASP). It is more scalable, faster and is arguably the best thing Microsoft has ever done in the Web development space. The recently released 1.1 version should spur adoptions (since many people wait for the 1.1 version of any Microsoft technology) ASP.NET, like its predecessor allows a Web site builder to dynamically build Web pages on the fly by inserting queries to a relational database in the Web page. ASP.NET is different than its predecessor in that it allows use of modern languages like VB .NET instead of scripting languages and it encourages correct programming style by allowing the separation of the design from the operational code.
