Essential ASP.NET Web Forms Development: Full Stack Programming with C#, SQL, Ajax, and JavaScript

Go from beginner to pro using one of the most effective and widely used technology stacks, Microsoft ASP.NET. Beginning with the basics, you will learn how to create interactive, professional-grade, database-driven web applications in no time, using ASP.NET, C#, SQL, Ajax, and JavaScript. Essential ASP.NET Web Forms Development is divided into six learning modules and will take you from soup to nuts with ASP.NET. Part I is an introduction to the major concepts, methodologies, and technologies associated with .NET web application development. You will learn about the client-server model, the .NET Framework, the ASP.NET and C# programming languages, and the Visual Studio integrated development environment. Part II teaches you how to develop a single-page .NET web application and add server and data validation controls, laying the foundation for learning languages in the context of an ASP.NET web application. Part III is all about C# operations and shows you how to perform assignment operations, conversion operations, control operations, string operations, arithmetic operations, date and time operations, array operations, collection operations, and file system operations, as well as create custom C# classes in the context of a .NET web application.

In Part IV, you dive into a multiple-page .NET web application and learn how to maintain state between pages and create master pages, themes, and navigation controls. Part V shows you how to connect a .NET web application to a SQL Server database. You will learn to read a database schema, program in the SQL language, utilize data binding, perform single- and multiple-row database table maintenance, and write code behind database operations. And finally, Part VI teaches you how to enhance the interactivity of a .NET web application. You will learn how to generate email messages, make use of basic Ajax controls and the Ajax Control Toolkit, and program in the JavaScript language.
