Using ASP.NET and VB.NET, Beginning ASP.NET 1.1 E-Commerce, a recent Apress book by Cristian Darie and Karli Watson, builds a web site in three phases of increasing complexity.

Starting with a simple PayPal based site, the book moves onto the development of a custom shopping basket and eventually details how to develop a bespoke order pipeline and handle credit card payments yourself.

Teaching ASP.NET in a non-linear format that creative thinkers can easily grasp and understand without the typical programming jargon. Provides clear and concise, hands-on, real-world examples right from the beginning of the book.

This book will inspire you with a range of ideas on how data can be used to drive Web applications, and how that data can be most effectively utilized at each level of the design. Inefficient data use leads to the sort of slow, unresponsive Web applications that nobody enjoys using. By making good use of both server and client-side code, we can solve these problems. This book will arm you with the techniques you need to build Web applications that fly.

The typical web or software developer spends over 50% of his or her time debugging code, yet most development books spend little (if any) time on the subject. Debugging ASP.NET concentrates on debugging issues related to Microsoft’s new web development platform, ASP.NET.

All of the new debugging tools introduced in ASP.NET are covered, and solutions are offered to many of the confusing error messages, pitfalls, and “gotchas” that developers will no doubt encounter while moving to this powerful new platform.

This book looks at how we can create data-centric asp.NET applications. Written and organised in the classic Wrox Beginning style, this book is packed full of excellent code examples, which demonstrate important fundamental principles. Requiring some basic knowledge of ASP.NET and Access or a SQL-based RDBMS, the authors initially guide you through the processes involved in connecting ASP.NET pages to a database and investigate the various ways of reading data. They then explore all the major issues involved in data heavy asp.NET programming, including some slightly more advanced topics such as using stored procedures and components.

All of the material in beginning asp.NET Databases is real-world useful, and the multitude of examples ensure that you are in the driving seat on your way to becoming a succesful ASP.NET programmer.

Inside ASP.NET is a comprehensive guide to ASP.NET development using Microsoft's .NET development framework. This book presents information on the .NET framework that is of specific interest to Internet and intranet developers, and is split into the following sections: Introducing ASP.NET, Core ASP.NET, ASP.NET and Data Access, Advanced Technologies, Advanced Web Forms, and Putting It All Together

Each chapter tackles a specific area of ASP.NET development, first by giving a detailed overview, then presenting a series of code examples and walk-throughs that illustrate various applications of ASP.NET

The book is a voyage of exploration through almost all aspects of building ASP.NET applications that handle data and work across the Internet (or other HTTP networks, such as local Intranets). It takes a practical approach to building task-specific components, Web pages and Web applications based on a server running ASP.NET. The book focusses on n-tier architecture design and the way it can be coded, using SQL Server as a data source and simple Web server hardware.

The ASP.NET code in this book is presented in VB.NET, while client-side code is presented in JavaScript. A C# version of the code is also available for download from the Wrox website along with the VB.NET.
