ASP.NET 2.0 - chapter 3 (Now for the content)

Where Chapters 1 and 2 were pretty much just an overview, chapter 3 introduces the user to some pretty good information. This chapter titled Application and Page Frameworks, covers many great things.

• Directives and attributes tables: these are a fantastic reference
• Cross-page postbacks - I can't wait to use this functionality. This should save developers an immense amount of work in capturing workflow and confirmation pages.
• An Explanation of the new App_ folders. Great information here.
• Compilation of the website by just typing in the URL + precompile.axd. It also covers how to precompile from the command line. No more hitting every page to bring the site up to speed.

This was real good information. I am looking forward to the next chapter.
