Part I: Getting to Know ASP.NET and Visual Web Developer
In this part. . .
In this part, especially in Chapter 1, you dive into the technologies that create Web sites on Microsoft's platform. I include steps for software installation (Chapter 2) and for site creation (Chapter 3), which ensure you're not flopping around like a fish out of water while you get your feet wet. Help! I'm drowning in metaphors!
In Chapter 4, you create data-driven ASP.NET pages — something you do often as a .NET Web developer. Building on your success, the last chapter (Chapter 5) walks you through assembling forms that accept user input with ASP.NET server controls.
It's not unusual to feel your head swimming while you wade into a new technology. If something seems over your head, keep dog-paddling as best you can. Remember: The lifeguard also started in the shallow end of the pool — and she ended up high and dry! (Okay, I'm done.)
