Putting ASP.NET in Context

Abstract

ASP.NET is a framework, or tool kit, for creating web applications. These are applications that operate over a network, largely (but not exclusively) where a user employs a web browser to communicate with a server over an intranet or the Internet. In this chapter, I will give you a high-level overview of ASP.NET and explain how I have mapped the key elements into the different parts of this book.
