Programming Web.Next

Get the hands-on guide to current and next-generation Web-development tools. You get an end-to-end view, in three parts: where Web development has been, where it stands today, and where it is moving in the near future. With a 360-degree approach, developers can be more prepared to begin to develop services using next-generation tools. In Part I, the author presents a practical overview of Microsoft® ASP.NET for those new to the technology. Part II integrates AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML), the exciting new development technology that greatly simplifies the delivery of Web services. Part III looks to the near-term future: code name “Windows® Presentation Foundation/Everywhere” (WPF/e), the tool that delivers—finally—a service or application that can be written once and then consumed on any browser, any platform, any screen, and any device. This guide is practical and grounded in what can be done today, but with key insights into the future of Web development. Includes code samples in Microsoft Visual® C#®.
