With its added improvements, ASP.NET 2.0 is becoming the standard technology for creating dynamic web pages on the Windows platform. This new technology is faster to code than the previous version, and offers a more powerful set of tools including MasterPages and Generics. It also runs more quickly when deployed, so that customers enjoy a much better user experience. It is now used by organizations across the board, from start-up companies to blue-chip multinational corporations.

Pro ASP.NET 2.0 in VB 2005 allows on the heels of Apress' well-regarded Pro ASP.NET 1.1 in VB .NET. This updated version shares the best-practices coverage and pragmatic style of its predecessor. Author Laurence Moroney covers ASP.NET thoroughly--from 2.0 innovations to crossover features from 1.1. This book takes a broad-based approach, explaining how old and new features interrelate. This book also provides you with the solid understanding you need to code real applications.
