Overview | ASP.NET for Web Designers

I've tried desperately to organize this book in a simple and progressive fashion so that as you make your way through the book, you are being fed tidbits that will help you to understand what is about to follow.

In Part I, I lay some of the required groundwork that will help you understand ASP.NET's personality and how to talk to it. I cover paradigms, languages, and concepts so that you have a good understanding of some of the base things you need to move forward with ASP.NET.

In Part II, I investigate the members the participants, if you will of ASP.NET and how to interact with them. I go through Server Controls, List Controls, Data Controls, and so on to build your vocabulary so that you can speak (and write) the language. Between the first section's foundational information and this section, you are now ready to move into more advanced concepts.

By the time you get to Part III, you will be well-versed in ASP.NET's concepts to the point where you can get into advanced data manipulation, site personalization and identity, security, and XML integration. After finishing this section, you will have all the tools you need to conceptualize and build some very complex web applications.
