Building Web 2.0 Portal with ASP.NET 3.5

If you think you're well
versed in ASP.NET, think again. This exceptional guide gives you a
master class in site building with this framework. You learn how to
develop rock-solid web portal applications similar to My Yahoo!,
iGoogle, and Pageflakes using ASP.NET AJAX, Windows Workflow
Foundation, LINQ, and .NET 3.5, along with ASP.NET 3.5 — sites that can
withstand millions of hits every day while surviving scalability and
security pressures.
If you think you're well versed in ASP.NET, think again. This
exceptional guide gives you a master class in site building with
ASP.NET 3.5 and other cutting-edge Microsoft technologies. You learn
how to develop rock-solid web portal applications that can withstand
millions of hits every day while surviving scalability and security
pressures — not just for mass-consumer homepages, but also for
dashboards that deliver powerful content aggregation for enterprises.
Written by Omar AL Zabir, co-founder and CTO of Pageflakes, Building a Web 2.0 Portal with ASP.NET 3.5
demonstrates how to develop portals similar to My Yahoo!, iGoogle, and
Pageflakes using ASP.NET 3.5, ASP.NET AJAX, Windows Workflow
Foundation, LINQ and .NET 3.5. Through the course of the book, AL Zabir
builds an open source Ajax-enabled portal prototype (available online
at www.dropthings.com), and walks you though the design and
architectural challenges, advanced Ajax concepts, performance
optimization techniques, and server-side scalability problems involved.
You learn how to:

• Implement a highly decoupled architecture following the popular n-tier, widget-based application model
  
• Provide drag-and-drop functionality, and use ASP.NET 3.5 to build the server-side part of the web layer
  
• Use LINQ to build the data access layer, and Windows Workflow
  Foundation to build the business layer as a collection of workflows
  
• Build client-side widgets using JavaScript for faster performance and better caching
  
• Get maximum performance out of the ASP.NET AJAX Framework for faster, more dynamic, and scalable sites
  
• Build a custom web service call handler to overcome shortcomings in
  ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 for asynchronous, transactional, cache-friendly web
  services
  
• Overcome JavaScript performance problems, and help the user interface load faster and be more responsive
  
• Solve scalability and security problems as your site grows from hundreds to millions of users
  
• Deploy and run a high-volume production site while solving software, hardware, hosting, and Internet infrastructure problems
  

Building a Web 2.0 Portal with ASP.NET 3.5 also presents
real-world ASP.NET challenges that the author has solved in building
educational and enterprise portals, plus thirteen production disasters
common to web applications serving millions of users. If you're ready
to build state-of-the art, high-volume web applications, this book has
exactly what you need.
