Latest and upcoming book(s)

Published 01 March 08 03:31 PM | despos

As per Thomas request, I'm posting here the TOC of the latest baby, that is Programming ASP.NET 3.5 Core Reference.

Chapter  Title
1 The ASP.NET Programming Model
2 Web Development in Visual Studio 2008 
3 Anatomy of an ASP.NET Page
4 ASP.NET Core Server Controls
5 Working with the Page 
6 Rich Page Composition
7 ADO.NET Data Providers
8 ADO.NET Data Containers
9 The Data Binding Model
10 The Linq-to-SQL Programming Model
11 Creating Bindable Grids of Data
12 Managing a List of Records
13 Managing Views of a Record
14 The HTTP Request Context
15 ASP.NET State Management
16 ASP.NET Caching
17 ASP.NET Security
18 HTTP Handlers and Modules
19 AJAX Partial Rendering 
20 AJAX-Enabled Web Services
21 Silverlight and Rich Internet Applications (v1.x)

With boldface, the chapters that are either new or significantly reworked from the ASP.NET 2.0 edition. All the content in Programming ASP.NET 2.0 Applications Advanced Topics is not touched by the changes to ASP.NET 3.5. So it remains valid even today, in spite of the fact it has a 2.0 label.

As per Ricky request, instead, about the upcoming architecture books, details should be finalized this week. However, we're talking about two books of some 300 pages each to be available in the Sept/Oct timeframe. More details (and an outline) to come in just a few days.

re: ASP.NET 2.0 Adv Topics book.

I bought it recently for descriptions of low level details and beyond the basics info. Good to know it's still pertinent. Thanks!

MVC is making its way in the Web architecture book. In that book (next fall), I plan to cover both MVC/MVP as general GUI patterns and the ASP.NET MVC FX.
