This book gets developers up to speed with the new features and capabilities that ASP.NET 2.0 provides. Developers will learn how to build ASP.NET 2.0 applications for themselves from the examples that the book provides. This book aims at ASP.NET developers making the transition to this new version of the technology. The changes are many, and in some cases, they're quite dramatic. The book spends a good deal of time alerting them to all that has changed and explaining what they need to know to make the transition to ASP.NET 2.0. Finally, the book focuses on both the Visual Basic and C# developer. Examples throughout the book will not favor one developer over another. Instead, every example will be provided in both languages.
