The book every Internet application developer working with Microsoft development tools needs to retool their knowledge of the new .NET techniques used to build Windows applications.

Unbiased, in-depth commentary on the efficacy of the various technologies that comprise .NET as they pertain to Internet database developers.

Technical know-how without crushing the reader with pointless detail.

Implementation details that replace and extend the existing Active Server Pages (ASP), XML, and ActiveX Data Object (ADO) functionality currently supported by Microsoft.

Topics covered in this book include: the .NET Foundation Classes that are most used by developers — ASP.NET, XML, and ADO.NET, and details about the construction of Web Services and how they programmatically communicate with each other.
