More than a collection of ASP.NET 2.0 language tips, this book helps you get to grips with ASP.NET 2.0. Moving to .NET 2.0 means that developers must understand the new coding techniques and standards (such as Master Pages and Generics) introduced with ASP.NET 2.0. They must also be aware of rising ancillary technologies such as Ajax and "Atlas" which may soon become intrinsically linked to ASP.NET development. The rise of alternative browsers, like Firefox, means that developers who want their web applications to be viewed as intended by their customers must master XHTML/CSS compliance.
