This is an unsolicited testimonial - I bought your book as soon as I saw it on the shelf. It is full of very practical, real world advice, plus is backed up by a web site with code you can download which is like the PageFlakes site. I am going to pick up a wealth of advanced techniques from the book. There's a little bit of everything in here, including information about scaling to a high-performance web site. Very good job, my only regret was that it isn't longer!

Hello,
My first book "Building a Web 2.0 Portal with ASP.NET 3.5" from
O'Reilly is published and available in the stores. It shows you how to
build a state-of-the-art Web 2.0 AJAX website. I am interested to know
how you like this book.
O'Reilly Website:

This book explains in detail the architecture design, development,
test, deployment, performance and scalability challenges of my open
source web portal Dropthings.com. Dropthings is a prototype of a web
portal similar to iGoogle or Pageflakes. But this portal is developed
using recently released brand new technologies like ASP.NET 3.5, C#
3.0, Linq to Sql, Linq to XML, and Windows Workflow foundation. It
makes heavy use of ASP.NET AJAX 1.0. Throughout my career I have built
several state-of-the-art personal, educational, enterprise and mass
consumer web portals. This book collects my experience in building all
of those portals. 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 various 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
If you're ready to build state-of-the art, high-volume web
applications that can withstand millions of hits per day, this book
has exactly what you need.
Regards,
Omar
