Building a Web 2.0 Portal with ASP.NET 3.5

I recently purchased this great new book named Building a Web 2.0 Portal with ASP.NET 3.5 by Omar Al Zabir and I would highly recommend this book to any architect or developer who is interested in learning how to design and develop world class highly scalable ASP.NET web portals using the latest and coolest Microsoft.NET technologies like ASP.NET 3.5, LINQ, Windows Workflow Foundation (WWF), ASP.NET AJAX, etc.

To me, this is one of the best books ever written on ASP.NET because unlike most other books, this book deals with real world problems which architects and developers face with heavy duty ASP.NET websites and provides really simple tried and tested solutions to solve the same. This book is less of theory and more of real world code and ASP.NET tips and tricks. Great job by Omar.

Click here for more info on this book or even better, buy this book right away from Amazon here :-)

Cheers,
Raj

Thats what this book is to me "tips and tricks".  Its a bad title for the book.  I think the title was changed because it would sell more.

A decent amount of the chapters are online VERBATIM from the book on codeproject already.  There might be more, but I know I read the articles about ASP.NET performance/dropthings/AJAX threads on codeproject.

Its still a great book, but not 100% what I was expecting.

HI Bart,

Thats exactly why I liked this book so much, full of ASP.NET tips and tricks which were applied successfully to solve real life problems faced while building pageflakes.com. I completely agree with you regarding wrong title for the book ;-)

Cheers,
Raj

The book is well organized, and the writing style makes it an easy read (usually technical books put me to sleep, but not this one). It does assume that you've already had some experience using ASP.NET 2.0/3.5, Javascript, and so forth, so I agree that this book will be the most beneficial to seasoned and advanced ASP.NET developers.

Hi Ivan,

Yes, i agree with you, this book would be most useful for seasoned and advanced ASP.NET developers.

However, some of the tips and tricks mentioned in this book are so easy to understand and implement, even junior ASP.NET developers can learn a lot from those :-)

Cheers,
Raj
