A full explanation of the IBuySpy Portal architecture is provided, which allows you to maximize product usage.
Further, the authors explore customizing existing portal modules, and even build some of their own. In the course of reading, you will acquire a breadth of techniques for ASP.NET development―from effectively using stored procedures, to creating an advanced user interface with ASP.NET Web Controls.
