Programming ASP.NET 3.5 offers comprehensive and easy-to-understand information on Web Forms, HTML, JavaScript, Ajax, application building blocks, custom controls, security, and more.

Written by bestselling authors Jesse Liberty and Dan Hurwitz, this book teaches you all the ins and outs of ASP.NET 3.5, using plenty of examples and sample code. You learn how to use new .NET technologies for faster development and better web application performance, such as ASP.NET AJAX for interactive user interfaces, LINQ for data access, and Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) for web services.

Programming ASP.NET 3.5 also previews and describes how newer technologies, such as Microsoft Silverlight and the model-view-controller (MVC) framework can enhance the traditional ASP.NET programming model.
