Themes are a way to allow programmers to establish "skinnable" websites that can be programmatically adjusted for various purposes. A webmaster may decide that there should be a certain look and feel for site administrators while registered users see a different look and the remaining users see still a different view when they visit the site. This could include, among other things, completely different controls, graphics, and/or color schemes for each group.

Produktbeschreibung
Themes are a way to allow programmers to establish "skinnable" websites that can be programmatically adjusted for various purposes. A webmaster may decide that there should be a certain look and feel for site administrators while registered users see a different look and the remaining users see still a different view when they visit the site. This could include, among other things, completely different controls, graphics, and/or color schemes for each group. Users may want to set up a theme specifically targeted to meet the needs of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) that removes all images and background colors and leaves the pages in stark contrast for that particular user group. Or maybe the developer just wants to let people choose the way they experience the site each time they visit.

Themes are very powerful and this book aims to highlight the potential of ASP.NET 2.0 Themes as well as their relationship to master pages and CSS in web applications today and illustrate many of the facets that can and should be included in theme development. While not specifically a designer's book, an overview of good web design and even a cheater's guide to PhotoShop will be included with the intent of taking the average ASP.NET Programmer and given them the knowledge to be "Renaissance Men and Women" of web design.

Specific topics covered in the book include:

- Browser, bandwidth, and accessibility considerations

- Use of color, fonts, multimedia

- CSS classes, elements, and Visual Studio CSS tools

- Master pages, child pages, and inheritance

- Consistent navigation and Site Maps

- Theme files, skin files, and applying themes

- A mobile theme example

- Basic PhotoShop tricks for Web Developers
Autorenporträt
Jacob J. Sanford is currently a Project Lead with the Rapid Application Development Team at the Florida Department of Children & Families. He began developing web applications more than 10 years ago using primarily classic ASP with various relational databases. Over the years he has dabbled in other web application development languages such as ColdFusion and PHP. However, he has been working almost exclusively with the .NET Framework since its 1.0 release. He is a regular contributor to 2MinuteTips.com and makes frequent presentations at local and regional .NET events. Having worked in all aspects of the SDLC, he has been focusing his recent efforts primarily on accessible web design (especially as it pertains to .NET applications). He also spends an inordinate amount of time "playing" with the latest (alpha and beta) web technologies, especially Microsoft Silverlight. He is married and as of writing this book has one son, but by the time you read it, he will have two. (Welcome to the world, Hayden.)
