About the Author
Doug Lowe has written a whole bunch of computer books, including more than 35 For Dummies books, including the Java All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies, Networking For Dummies, 7th Edition, the Networking All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies, PowerPoint 2003 For Dummies, and the Word 2003 All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies. He lives in sunny Fresno, California, where the motto is, “We almost beat USC!” with his wife, the youngest of his three daughters, and a couple of outrageously cute puppies. He is the Information Technology Director for Blair, Church & Flynn, an engineering firm in nearby Clovis, CA, and he is also one of those obsessive-compulsive decorating nuts who used to put up tens of thousands of lights at Christmas until his wife saw the electric bill, so now he creates energy-efficient computer-controlled Halloween decorations that rival Disney’s Haunted Mansion.
Author’s Acknowledgments
I’d like to thank everyone involved with making this book a reality, especially project editor Paul Levesque, who did a great job following through on all the little editorial details needed to put a book of this scope together on time, and didn’t panic when the “on time” part of that equation was in question. Thanks also to Ken Cox, who gave the manuscript a thorough review and offered many excellent suggestions for improvements, and to copy editor Barry Childs-Helton, who crossed all the i’s and dotted all the t’s, or something like that, and in the process somehow turned my strange prose into readable English. And, as always, thanks to all the behind-the-scenes people who chipped in with help I’m not even aware of.
Introduction
MMyelcome to ASP.NET 2.0 Everyday Apps For Dummies, the book that
W teaches ASP.NET 2.0 Web programming by example. In this book, you’ll find eight complete ASP.NET applications. We’re not talking trivial Hello-World-type applications here. Instead, they’re real-world applications like shopping carts and discussion forums. You can use any of them as-is, or modify them as you see fit. So you’ve got workable stuff already included. (What a concept.)
About This Book
This book is a practical introduction to ASP.NET 2.0 Web programming. It provides you with actual working code to build the most popular types of applications on the Web. These applications enable you to:
w* Restrict access to registered users, for all or part of your Web site
v* Sell products online via your Web site
u* Provide back-end functions for your public Web site, such as file maintenance and reporting
u* Let users manage specific types of online content
u* Create discussion forums and blogs
ASP.NET 2.0 Everyday Apps For Dummies doesn’t pretend to be a comprehensive reference for every detail of ASP.NET programming. Instead, it takes a learn-by-example approach, under the assumption that you are already a pretty competent programmer who can best learn by seeing real-world examples. Designed using the easy-to-follow For Dummies format, this book helps you get the information you need without laboring to find it.
