This book explains the techniques behind the DropThings portal (www.dropthings.com), showing some source-code (available at www.codeplex.com) and giving a couple of tips and tricks of web 2.0 programming. The book is very interesting but it's for those developers who already know the technologies it covers (ASP.NET, C#, LINQ, WF and ASP.NET AJAX) and want to know "the best way to do it" or became aware of commom problems that big web 2.0 portals generally has. Chapter 1 - Conceptual meanings of Web and ASP.NET. Chapter 2 - How can you design your own Widgets Framework (Based on his ideas that lead him to develop his own framework) and things that you need to concern when you develop a big portal. Chapter 3 - Tips and Tricks of developing rich client controls Chapter 4 - How can you add LINQ and Workflow Foundation to your Data and Business Layers. Chapter 5 - Developing Widgets itself Chapter 6, 7, 8 and 9 - Reflections over performance (at Client, Server and "client-server" interaction) Chapter 10 - Solving Deployment and "Go-live" problems. Bear in mind this book don't teach you those technologies, it only leads you to use them in a better way based on the author's experience (Author is the PageFlake's co-Founder and CTO, so he really knows what he's talking about).
