This comprehensive book will teach you everything you need to know in order to create well architected ASP.NET websites. Beginning with core concepts such as the structure of the .NET Framework and how ASP.NET is founded upon it the book progresses steadily through key professional skills. You'll be shown how to query databases in detail, consider the myriad applications of XML, and step through all the considerations you need to be aware of when securing your site from intruders. Finally, you'll consider advanced topics such as using ASP.NET with MVC 4, ASP.NET AJAX, HTML5 and Silverlight.

By the time you have read this book you will have learned all the skills you need to use ASP.NET 4.5 with confidence.

What you’ll learn

  • Understand why ASP.NET 4.5 is so special, what its fundamental principles are, the basics of Visual Studio, how ASP.NET controls are created and how they fit into ASP.NET pages, ultimately creating full applications.
  • Become familiar with ASP.NET MVC 4, one of the biggest additions to ASP.NET 4, and understand how to use it and integrate it within your existing ASP.NET applications.
  • Discover the intricacies of ADO.NET and the Entity Framework and how to perform data binding to many sources, from databases to file streams and XML.

  • Understand how to work with web services, an important skill in an increasingly connected world.
  • Use ASP.NET AJAX, HTML and JavaScript, with an emphasis on contemporary web development techniques.
