ASP.NET has established itself as one of the most productive environments for building web applications and more developers are switching over every day. The 2.0 release of ASP.NET builds on the same componentry of 1.1, improving productivity of developers even further by providing standard implementations of common Web application features like membership, persistent user profile, and Web parts, among others. With more than 50 new server-side controls and many new pieces of web infrastructure, ASP.NET 2.0 brings more new features than any web development technology in recent memory. This course will introduce practicing ASP.NET developers to the many new features in ASP.NET 2.0 as well as 3.5, with practical hands-on labs to reinforce the concepts, with an emphasis on understanding how each new feature works and when to best apply it.
