OReilly Learning ASP.NET 2.0 with AJAX (2007)
Learning ASP.NET 2.0 with AJAX



Learning or Programming?
We have written two ASP.NET books: the one you are currently reading and another
named Programming ASP.NET 2.0. This book, Learning ASP.NET 2.0 with AJAX is
intended for beginning ASP.NET developers, and answers the question: “What is the
quickest way for me to build real web applications with the least handcoding?”
Our other book, Programming ASP.NET is for developers who are saying: “Help me
learn—in depth; show how everything works, and then help me put it to work in
web applications.” The key difference is this book is aimed to make you productive
quickly, while the second book is designed to explore the technology in detail. They
complement each other, but if you are starting out and want to get to work fast, this
is the one for you.
Learning ASP.NET 2.0 with Ajax assumes you know some HTML and have either
some familiarity with Visual Basic 2005 (VB) or C#, or can pick up what you need
along the way. (Or you’re willing to run right out and buy Programming Visual Basic
2005 by Jesse Liberty, although for what you’ll be doing here, you won’t really need
it). To help with this, we have included VB Cheat Sheets throughout the book to
explain and clarify some of the VB topics for newbies.
