This book shows you how to harness these new features in building websites that tackle real business problems. It provides insight into techniques and practices that help reduce maintenance costs, decrease development time, and manage user perception. It also discusses the business reasoning behind the techniques, not just the technical implementation.
Each chapter identifies a common business requirement - such as managing logins, reporting, data searching and security - and the associated challenges and potential problems. It then goes on to demonstrate an effective ASP.NET 2.0-based solution. The author uses stories from his own experience to really drive home the point that these are real-world problems. Chapters will be presented as independent sections to allow readers to jump back and forth between the specific technologies they find interesting.
