With the advent of
Microsoft??™s .NET Framework, ASP.NET turned web development on its head by combining a
design-time interface similar to Visual Basic with an HTML and JavaScript output that requires
nothing more than a web browser for rending. With ASP.NET 3.5, HTML and JavaScript are
combined in powerful ways via ASP.NET AJAX technology that helps connect client-side and
server-side connection without losing point-and-click design-time support. We wrote this book
to document the major improvements since ASP.NET 1.1, while also covering the fundamentals for
those new to custom server control development.
At the core of ASP.NET is server control technology. From the Page class to the Label control to
web parts, all objects in ASP.NET are server controls. Server controls combine server-side execution
in a well defined life cycle with browser-friendly rendering that includes down-level browsers
as well as a plethora of mobile clients. Regardless of the target output, all server controls behave
in a similar manner. Understanding this technology and how to leverage it in your own development
efforts are the subjects of this book.
Who This Book Is For
The target audience for this book consists of developers with an intermediate to advanced
experience level looking to deepen their understanding of ASP.
