The ASP.NET 2.0 version of this book was the first to introduce experienced ASP.NET 2.0 programmers to building a web application with a layered approach. Now updated for ASP.NET 3.5 and the Entity Framework, this unique book takes good website design beyond page–by–page coding by emphasizing n–tier ASP.NET web application architectural design. Each chapter addresses a problem or business need and then discusses the necessary pieces of the puzzle you′ll use to solve that problem. In addition, a professional–level website framework is at the ready, from which you can build real websites, extend the code, and implement specific ASP.NET code.
