For those who can remember back to ASP 2.0, you may recall that it shipped with a sample application called AdventureWorks . This application allowed you to shop for climbing equipment suitable for extreme conditions. AdventureWorks featured all the basic features of a typical e- commerce application, including product viewing and selection, user registration, and a shopping basket . This chapter will use ASP.NET to extend the AdventureWorks application into a new one called IBuyAdventure.NET , or IBA for short. The rest of this chapter will review the code and the functionality of this application, and discuss some of the design decisions made while creating it.
Note | All the files for the IBuyAdventure.NET application are available for download from the Wrox website, http://www.wrox.com/, and include set up and installation instructions. |
