Even in science fiction, you can't escape manual data input. During an attack, spaceship navigators converse comfortably with computers, use console controls, and type quadrant coordinates.

This chapter looks at some key ASP.NET controls, forms, and events. Some concepts are easier to understand if you know a programming language; however, there's no reason you can't pick this stuff up while you go along.
