This is a series that is reserved for a few select authors. They must have countless hours spent with the technologies and have access to "Inside" information that the general public does not have. In this case the authors relationships with the ASP.NET development team at Microsoft and the time they've spent programming ASP.NET makes them excellent candidates for the Insider Solutions series. The goal of the book is not to teach the technology (what is control based programming, what are web controls etc. etc.) nor is it to be an all encompassing reference (listing all the properties, methods, events for individual controls or providing a reference to all the controls available, etc. etc.). The intent is to draw upon their experience and relate best practices, tips and tricks, workarounds, undocumented information and creative ways to use the technology to intermediate ASP.NET developers. ASP.NET Insider Solutions will provide modular coverage of various concerns when programming ASP.NET applications including coverage of application design, data management, displaying data, customizing and creating new controls, caching, state management, security, etc. etc.
