 Great Book!Nov 20, 2009
Building a Web 2.0 Portal with ASP.Net 3.5
Warning: This book is meant for developers who already have prior knowledge of asp.net technology.
This seems like such an interestingly good book for those who already have some knowledge of ASP.NET technology. I unfortunately did not have prior knowledge of asp.net. But having read through it I felt the author wrote very interesting stuff. I have since started learning asp.net 3.5, hopefully I will be able to grasp the concepts in taught in this text.
If you are new to asp.net please buy asp.net beginner books like Beginning ASP.NET 3.5 in C# 2008: From Novice to Professional, Second Edition (Beginning from Novice to Professional) written by Matthew Macdonald. Or get another very good asp.net text(ASP.NET 3.5 Unleashed) written by Stephen Walter.
 Must have book for web developersJan 23, 2009
I have bought several technical books over the past 16 years and have rarely read any cover to cover (I did skip the last chapter as it really didn't apply to my corporate environment). This book covers all aspects of developing a portal using ASP.NET and explains in great detail all the technical aspects of development and implementation. In addition to the diagrams and code samples, the CodePlex base and [...] examples are bonus references.
I would not recommend this book for novice/beginner developers. The reader should have experience in ASP.NET web development and core Microsoft technologies.
ESSENTIAL For ASP.NET Web Developers/Admins!!!Oct 30, 2008
Wow this is a great book.
When I first opened up 'Building a Web 2.0 Portal with ASP.NET 3.5' I expected this to be just any old ASP.NET web development/admin book but I was very pleasantly surprised.
Brevity is the champ here, with this book coming in at just under 300 pages but man the content is dense. The focus is on managing and developing your ASP.NET 2.0 portal (as the title suggests). Here's a McKinnon Overview:
01. Introducing Web Portals
02. Architecting the Web Portal
03. Building the Web Layer Using ASP.NET AJAX
04. Building the Data and Business Layers Using .NET 3.5
05. Building Client-Side Widgets
06. Optimizing ASP.NET AJAX
07. Creating Good Web Services
08. Improving Server-Side Performance
09. Improving Client-Side Performance
10. Solving Common Challenges
The focus is on portal development but I feel that all the content within is applicable to all .NET web developers. Applying Web 2.0 concepts, you will learn how to architect more efficient solutions in todays web world. You will learn the ins and outs and it will be fun at that.
Great book, pick it up today.
***** HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Terrific bookAug 19, 2008
This book is very well written. It provides lots of good tricks to handle real-world problems that come up when developing a website. One of the best ASP.NET books I have read. It is about developing a website all the way through, not about explaining the newer technologies. Not for beginners.
Great BookAug 19, 2008
With this book Author has set bar very high on how to write technical books. It dose a good job of explaining finer points of all technologies involved in AJAX asp.net programming in the context of building portal. Its a must read if u are looking for techniques to build high performance web sites.
