This book covers the most cutting-edge topics in .NET

This book is an excellent reference to C# programmers to tackle web development. It covers the most cutting-edge topics in .NET technology, in particular Web Services and Security. As it is mentioned in the title, this book is not C# tutorial from scratch, but to use C# programming language for web applications.It is clear that this book is for the C# audience to use ASP.NET, XML and ADO.NET. It covers enough topics with excellent examples. Although, it is a good reference for C# developers with hands on .NET framework and not a C# programming language tutorial.The book includes 11 chapters covered in 590 pages. The introduction chapter describes ASP from the scripting languages to ASP.NET. Chapter 2 is devoted to page framework. Chapter 3, 4, and 5 focus more deeper on ASP and configuration. Chapter 6 is devoted to Web Services. Chapter 7 point out the Security topic. HTTP containers are reported in chapter 8. Chapter 9 covers user controls and server controls. Chapter 10 is devoted to XML, and the last chapter is devoted to ADO.NET. An outstanding index section covered in 60 pages that include the most searched keywords and subtitles. The authors share in this book their strong knowledge of .NET framework, with very interesting comments and examples. I recommend strongly this book for C# community to use it as a reference for .NET platform. ---Reviewed by Abder B.

Great readable reference

It starts of with a quick up to speed section and does a great job of showing ASP.old vs. ASP.NET. The book then immediately heads into the questions that developers want to answers to like caching and controls. This book is a great introduction and a reference that doesn't leave my desk.
