Fast ASP.NET Websites delivers just what it promises—practical, hands-on guidance to create faster, more efficient ASP.NET sites and applications. This book offers step-by-step .NET-specific examples showing you how to apply classic page optimization tips, ASP.NET-specific techniques, and ways to leverage new HTML5 features.

There’s a real cost to inefficient HTTP requests, overloaded data streams and bulky scripts.

As an ASP.NET developer, there are dozens of techniques you can apply immediately to make your sites and applications faster. You’ll find them here.

Readers should be familiar with basic HTML, CSS, and ASP.NET concepts.
