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. Rating: 5 / 5 This book is very well written.

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

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. <br /> <br />I would not recommend this book for novice/beginner developers. The reader should have experience in ASP.NET web development and core Microsoft technologies.
