About the Author
Doug Lowe has written a whole bunch of computer books, including more than 35 For Dummies books, including the Java All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies, Networking For Dummies, 7th Edition, the Networking All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies, PowerPoint 2003 For Dummies, and the Word 2003 All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies. He lives in sunny Fresno, California, where the motto is, “We almost beat USC!” with his wife, the youngest of his three daughters, and a couple of outrageously cute puppies. He is the Information Technology Director for Blair, Church & Flynn, an engineering firm in nearby Clovis, CA, and he is also one of those obsessive-compulsive decorating nuts who used to put up tens of thousands of lights at Christmas until his wife saw the electric bill, so now he creates energy-efficient computer-controlled Halloween decorations that rival Disney’s Haunted Mansion.
Author’s Acknowledgments
I’d like to thank everyone involved with making this book a reality, especially project editor Paul Levesque, who did a great job following through on all the little editorial details needed to put a book of this scope together on time, and didn’t panic when the “on time” part of that equation was in question. Thanks also to Ken Cox, who gave the manuscript a thorough review and offered many excellent suggestions for improvements, and to copy editor Barry Childs-Helton, who crossed all the i’s and dotted all the t’s, or some­thing like that, and in the process somehow turned my strange prose into readable English. And, as always, thanks to all the behind-the-scenes people who chipped in with help I’m not even aware of.

Introduction

MMyelcome to ASP.NET 2.0 Everyday Apps For Dummies, the book that
W teaches ASP.NET 2.0 Web programming by example. In this book, you’ll find eight complete ASP.NET applications. We’re not talking trivial Hello-World-type applications here. Instead, they’re real-world applications like shopping carts and discussion forums. You can use any of them as-is, or modify them as you see fit. So you’ve got workable stuff already included. (What a concept.)
About This Book
This book is a practical introduction to ASP.NET 2.0 Web programming. It pro­vides you with actual working code to build the most popular types of appli­cations on the Web. These applications enable you to:

w* Restrict access to registered users, for all or part of your Web site
v* Sell products online via your Web site
u* Provide back-end functions for your public Web site, such as file mainte­nance and reporting
u* Let users manage specific types of online content
u* Create discussion forums and blogs

ASP.NET 2.0 Everyday Apps For Dummies doesn’t pretend to be a comprehen­sive reference for every detail of ASP.NET programming. Instead, it takes a learn-by-example approach, under the assumption that you are already a pretty competent programmer who can best learn by seeing real-world exam­ples. Designed using the easy-to-follow For Dummies format, this book helps you get the information you need without laboring to find it.
