ASP.NET 2.0 Beta Preview

Simply put, ASP.NET 2.0 is an amazing release! When ASP.NET 1.0 was first introduced in 2000, many
considered it a revolutionary leap forward in the area of Web application development. I believe
ASP.NET 2.0 is just as exciting and revolutionary. Although the foundation of ASP.NET was laid with the
release of ASP.NET 1.0, ASP.NET 2.0 builds upon this foundation by focusing on the area of developer
productivity.
ASP.NET 2.0 brings with it a staggering number of new technologies that have been built into the
ASP.NET framework. After reading this book, you will see just how busy the ASP.NET team has been in
the last few years. The number of classes inside ASP.NET has more than doubled, and this release contains
more than 40 new server controls!
This book covers these new built-in technologies it not only introduces new topics, it also shows you
examples of these new technologies in action. So sit back, pull up that keyboard, and let’s have some fun!
