From the Back Cover
Following in the tradition of the earlier ASP.NET Unleashed books, ASP.NET 4.0 Unleashed is the one and only indispensable book for building ASP.NET websites. The ASP.NET framework is huge. The size and richness of the framework requires and deserves a comprehensive book on the features of ASP.NET 4.0. This book will contain hundreds of code samples and in-depth tutorials on nearly every aspect of the ASP.NET 4.0 framework. It includes thorough coverage of eagerly awaited new features such as MVC and the Entity Framework. The author, Stephen Walther, is perfectly qualified to write this book. He works as a Program Manager on the Microsoft ASP.NET team, giving him an intimate and inside knowledge of ASP.NET. Over the previous 8 years before re-joining Microsoft, Stephen provided ASP.NET training and consulting for companies and organizations across the US, so he knows the topics that are most relevant to professional ASP.NET developers. Finally, Stephen is a well-known member of the ASP.NET community. He is a Microsoft Software Legend, a frequent speaker for INETA, and a frequent speaker at conferences such as TechEd and ASP.NET Connections.
