What is ASP.NET
ASP.NET is a revolutionary new programming framework that enables the rapid development of powerful web applications and services. Part of the emerging Microsoft .NET Platform, it provides the easiest and most scalable way to build, deploy and run distributed web applications that can target any browser or device. ASP.NET (formerly referred to as ASP+) is more than the next version of Active Server Pages (ASP); it is a unified Web development platform that provides the services necessary for developers to build enterprise-class Web applications. ASP.NET Web Developer's Guide will teach Web developers to quickly and easily build solutions for the Microsoft .NET platform. Programmers who are expert in asp and other languages will find this book invaluable.
