Most of the chapters in this book, which discuss various ASP.NET features and development topics, are freestanding—that is, you don’t have to read the chapters in order. Throughout we include Tips and Notes to help you leverage ASP.NET in developing dynamic Web applications. We created these Notes based on our experiences developing ASP.NET and on our work with customers, in which we explored the challenges of creating large and small Web sites, as well as sites intended for access by internal corporate groups and by the general public.
