ASP.NET is a web application framework developed and marketed by Microsoft to allow programmers to build dynamic web sites, web applications and web services. It is the successor to Microsoft's Active Server Pages (ASP) technology. ASP.NET allows programmers to build web sites and web applications using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. It supports three approaches to build web sites: Web Pages, Web Forms and MVC.

The book’s authors, Atul Gupta, Sudhanshu Hate, and Andrew Siemer, have written a detailed article on implementing a Complete Messaging System. It helps readers to learn how to allow users of their community to send messages to each other. Atul’s, Sudhanshu’s, and Andrew’s book contains many more detailed learning examples.

The book presents a lot of real- world code, with comprehensive explanations enabling developers to create user accounts, set up a permissions system, and handle password encryption apart from adding an internal search engine using SQL Server and Lucene.NET. It shows how the latest features of ASP.NET 4.0 and .NET Framework 4.0 can provide a platform that is efficient, easy to maintain, and extensible.

You can see a free sample chapter on implementing a Complete Messaging System. The book is out now, currently available from Packt’s website, and also available on Packt’s library platform, PacktLib.
