Beginning Asp .net 2.0

This book continues the strong Wrox "Beginning" tradition with an approach featuring numerous detailed examples, step by step teaching, and clear explanations of how each key bit of code works. The book takes a task oriented approach, teaching readers how to build a specific part of a complete web site.

With the introduction of the Visual Web Developer tool, there's no need for ASP.NET coders - especially beginners - to hand code any pages. In fact, starting an ASP.NET 2.0 site with Visual Web Developer is so easy that the first several chapters of the book can be done with very little code at all.

When the book does get to more code intensive chapters in the 2nd half of the book, the authors do their best to show readers the minimum amount of code they need to write to accomplish a task, continuing to work as much as possible with the tools built into Visual Web Developer.
