32.8. Summary
In this chapter you learned how to create ASP.NET applications using the Web Site and Web Application projects. The improvements to the HTML designer and the new CSS tools in Visual Studio 2008 provide you with great power over the layout and visual design of web pages. The vast number of web controls included in ASP.NET enables you to quickly put together highly functional web pages. Through the judicious use of JavaScript, ASP.NET AJAX, and control extenders in the AJAX Control Toolkit, you can provide a very rich user experience in your web applications.
Of course, there's much more to web development than we covered here. Chapter 37 continues the discussion on building rich web applications by exploring the latest web technologies from Microsoft: ASP.NET MVC and Silverlight 2.0. Chapter 44 provides detailed information about the tools and techniques available for effective debugging of web applications. Finally, Chapter 50 will walk you through the deployment options for web applications. If you are looking for more information after this then you should check out Professional ASP.NET 3.5: In C# and VB by Bill Evjen, Scott Hanselman, and Devin Rader. Weighing in at over 1,600 pages, this is the best and most comprehensive resource available to web developers who are building applications on the latest version of ASP.NET.
