Sebastopol, CA—New ideas in web development are created all the time, and the speed with which they evolve into mature technologies is astounding. "To its credit, Microsoft is one of the companies that continue to push the boundaries in web development," write Jesse Liberty, Dan Maharry, and Dan Hurwitz, authors of the new Programming ASP.NET 3.5 (O'Reilly, US $59.99). "ASP.NET 3.5 is arguably the fastest, most efficient, most reliable, and best-supported way to create interactive web applications today. Combined with the development tools available from Microsoft (both free and commercial), it is incredibly easy to create websites that look great and perform well."
Programming ASP.NET 3.5 is your key to creating state-of-the-art applications using this popular web development technology and Visual Studio 2008.
