Introduction

Welcome to this book. It is much more than a revision of its predecessor, Beginning ASP.NET 2.0 Databases. The concepts involved in building data-driven applications have radically evolved over multiple releases of .NET Framework. With the introduction of Entity Framework 5, WCF Data Services, and new features in ASP.NET 4.5 like Strongly Typed Controls and model binding, there is a greater choice among developers to build Web applications fetching data from a wide variety of data sources. The book will seek to get you started building data-driven websites using the new features in .NET Framework 4.5. It will also introduce you to ASP.NET MVC 4 as a leading technology in modern Web application development.
