ASP.NET is a wonderful enabling technology that allows developers to create business solutions much more effectively than ever before. However, there is room for improvement. Developers often do not see the potholes and pitfalls related to this technology until they stumble. Real World ASP.NET Best Practices helps readers to avoid just such frustrations. The book's in-depth coverage includes data handling, caching, JavaScript, user and server controls, distributed programming, configuration, and deployment.

Real World ASP.NET Best Practices goes far beyond the documentation to teach ASP.NET development best practices based on the authors' real-world experience. The book's emphasis is on helping developers perform tasks correctly and avoid mistakes, not on teaching ASP.NET in general.
