More of a programmer’s guide than a security guide, Hacking the Code
explains how certain code can be attacked, shows how you should edit
the code, and offers case studies and examples for doing so. The book
establishes policies for object input, and shows how to audit existing
code for potential security problems.People constantly ask security
expert Mark Burnett for a guide to writing secure code. They don’t want
a course on security, they want to fix their code. This book is a
practical guide on how to maintain session state, how to properly
handle cookies, how to get user input, and more. Instead of just
telling you how to do it, Burnett shows actual code that can be dropped
right into your applications. This book covers almost all security
issues known. Burnett has put hundreds of hours of research into his
code audit database and is now making that available to you.

with ASP.NET 2.0. The book is centered around a dozen ready-to-use
projects with all the code for all the projects included on the books
CD-ROM - that you can use immediately. ASP.NET 2.0 Instant Results
dives into working code so you can learn it rapidly. The book and
projects are written for intermediate-level programmers with some .NET
experience. The projects and book provide a quick start reference so
you can use ASP.NET 2.0 immediately.

Each of the 12 project
features step-by-step set-up instructions with a description of each
project that enables you to understand and then modify it so you can

I’ve been teaching ASP.NET for more than two years and things have changed. It’s not just the course material that’s changed, but more importantly it’s the ability of my students to be extremely productive. They can create enterprise applications in a fraction of the time it used to take. Many of my students are seasoned Web developers who work for Fortune 1000 companies. They have taken what they’ve learned back to the workplace, and saved their employers thousands of dollars. And the savings have been possible because the cost of developing enterprise applications with ASP.NET is so much lower. That’s because ASP.NET gives developers so much of the plumbing that they used to have to write themselves, such as Web services, XML rendering, and remoting.
This book should not be the first book on ASP.NET development that you read. While there is a fair amount of teaching throughout, it assumes that you know the basics of Web development using ASP.NET. This book is full of solutions that can be easily added to your Web site. The solutions also show you lots of recommended practices. Learning these recommended practices is the next step past learning the basics of ASP.NET that you need. It’s kind of like once you’ve learned to spell and write sentences, you can correctly learn to craft coherent prose.
This book teaches you how to tie all of the ASP.NET pieces together. It teaches you how to get the most out of the ASP.NET platform. Many of the applications in this book would cost you significant dollars if you purchased them. Examples of this are the Forum application, the Classifieds application, and the Graphing class. As a developer, I often look for applications and classes that I can use. Finding these cuts my cost of development significantly since I don’t have to write
them myself. And even if you do have to modify these applications to suit your needs, they give you a starting point that’ll still save you lots of time. I have a Web site so that you can see the applications.

Beginning Object-Oriented ASP.NET 2.0 with VB .NET covers all
of the basics, from definition to inheritance. This book even includes
a chapter on Visual Studio 2005 and Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0,
enabling you to create ASP.NET 2.0 applications. Also included are
chapters on creating web forms, web controls, and web services. Code
samples illustrate the usage of each concept.

If you have a background in procedural programming, this book will
teach you what a class is, how it relates to an object, and how to
model real-world data into a class. You will be able to create a class
in VB .NET, add properties and methods, and use that class in a simple
ASP.NET web application created with VB .NET.
