Good Read For CRM Developers – Programming ASP.NET – O’ Reilly 3rd Ed.
Well i just finished up my latest read “Programming ASP.NET” 3rd edition. I typically develop web applications in Classic ASP, HTML/XHTML, CSS, VBScript, and Javascript. I haven’t had the time to delve into the .NET development framework until now and i thought that this book would be a good entrypoint to get caught up on the new server side processing and controls that the framework has to offer.
I started by installing Visual Studio 2008. Honestly the book is written for the .NET 2.0 framework but i thought this would be give me a great start to get familiar with the new IDE. I was right and i did enjoy reading the book through the week. I would reccomend this book to any developer that is looking to extend functionality of Microsoft CRM or Dynamics Platforms through the native application SDK’s as well.
The book also has a decent chapter on building and consuming webservices. It covers more about exposing your webmethods and using them to return or receive data than most articles that i have found out there. I liked the new controls enough that i decided to purchase the new “SAMS ASP.NET 3.5 Unleashed” (Again…. i know…. Not a Microsoft Press Book!)
I figure that i can get some more in depth information on Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) and the new .NET Ajax Controls that are supported natively in the edition of the framework.
After that i believe i will tackle chapter 9 in the “Working with Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4″ book that i received at convergence. Yea! finally a mention of a MS Press Book Right? By the way this is a great book as well, i just haven’t plowed through chapter 9 entitled “Microsoft CRM 4 SDK”as of yet i have a feeling that this time it will be alot easier with a better understanding now of C# and ASP.NET!
