Beginning ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Book is out!
The past year or so I have been working with a number of excellent co-authors on another book called Beginning ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX and as you can imagine, is solely devoted to the topic of the Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions.
Well its out and you can go and grab yourself a copy. You probably want at least 2, perhaps 3 or 4. If you can tear yourself away from looking at the stunningly handsome authors on the front cover, you will be graced by the excellent technical coverage of all things related to the ASP.NET AJAX Extensions.
The Amazon link to the book is here or you can find out more about the book from Wiley's site here.
An excerpt from Wiley's site about the book:
- Written by a high-power team of Microsoft MVP's, this book provides a comprehensive introduction to the ASP.NET AJAX features
- After a quick overview of the architecture and features of ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX, coverage then goes on to show developers how to build richer, more responsive dynamic Web sites and Web applications
- Dives into such topics as ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX user interface design issues, JavaScript enhancements with AJAX, how to use the UpdatePanel for implementing server-side controls, and XML scripting in AJAX
- Also offers an outline of the ASP.NET 2.0 AJAXControl Toolkit, and discusses implementing drag and drop functions, databinding, debugging and security, ASP.NET services, and bridging and gadgets
- The companion Web site provides readers with a rich set of code examples
I think fellow co-author Steve Smith did an excellent job of promoting the book by his completely unbiased and absolutely 100% true (would I lie to you? ) comparison to the release of the iPhone.
Seriously though, go grab it. I am quite proud of it and think it has a huge amount of great content.
