ASP.NET Web Deployment using Visual Studio
Tom Dykstra Step-by-Step This tutorial series shows you how to deploy (publish) an ASP.NET web application to a Windows Azure Web Site or a third-party hosting provider, by using Visual Studio 2012 or Visual Studio 2010. You develop a web application in order to make it available to people over the Internet. But web programming tutorials typically stop right after they've shown you how to get something working on your development computer. This tutorial begins where the others leave off: you've built a web site, tested it, and it's ready to go. What's next? This tutorial shows you how to deploy first to IIS on your local development computer for testing, and then to Windows Azure or a thirdparty hosting provider for staging and production. The sample application that you'll deploy is a web application project that uses the Entity Framework, SQL Server, and the ASP.NET membership system. Entity Framework Code First Migrations is used to deploy the application database. The sample application uses ASP.NET Web Forms, but the procedures shown apply also to ASP.NET MVC and Web API. Applies to: ASP.NET, Visual Studio 2010, Visual Studio 2012, Windows Azure Source: ASP .NET Site E-book publication date: April 2013 155 pages EPUB

Developing Modern Mobile Web Apps
patterns & practices Guide This project provides guidance on building mobile web experiences using HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. Developing web apps for mobile browsers can be less forgiving than developing for desktop browsers. There are issues of screen size, the availability of specific feature support, and other differences between mobile browsers that will impact how you develop your apps. In addition, there are various levels of support for the emerging standards of HTML5 and CSS3, and standards for some features, such as touch, are just beginning to take shape. All of these factors suggest that it is best to keep your HTML, CSS, and JavaScript as simple as you can in order to ensure compatibility with as many devices as possible. This project illustrates how to do this, as well as how to add more advanced functionality where supported.

Developing Modern Mobile Web Apps
patterns & practices Guide This project provides guidance on building mobile web experiences using HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. Developing web apps for mobile browsers can be less forgiving than developing for desktop browsers. There are issues of screen size, the availability of specific feature support, and other differences between mobile browsers that will impact how you develop your apps. In addition, there are various levels of support for the emerging standards of HTML5 and CSS3, and standards for some features, such as touch, are just beginning to take shape. All of these factors suggest that it is best to keep your HTML, CSS, and JavaScript as simple as you can in order to ensure compatibility with as many devices as possible. This project illustrates how to do this, as well as how to add more advanced functionality where supported.

A Guide to Claims-Based Identity and Access Control, Second Edition
patterns & practices
Guide
Imagine a world where you don't have to
worry about authentication. Imagine instead that all requests to your
application already include the information you need to make access
control decisions and to personalize the application for the user. In
this world, your applications can trust another system component to
securely provide user information, such as the user's name or email
address, a manager's email address, or even a purchasing authorization
limit. The user's information always arrives in the same simple format,
regardless of the authentication mechanism, whether it's Microsoft®
Windows® integrated authentication, forms-based authentication in a web
browser, an X.509 client certificate, or something more exotic. Even if
someone in charge of your company's security policy changes how users
authenticate, you still get the information, and it's always in the same
format. This is the utopia of claims-based identity that A Guide to
Claims-Based Identity and Access Control describes. Applies to: Windows Identity Foundation (WIF), Microsoft Active Directory® Federation Services (ADFS) v2, and Windows Azure Access Control Service (ACS) Source: MSDN Library (patterns & practices) E-book publication date: December 2011 411 pages
