Introduction

Anyone who completes the projects and tutorial exercises in this book will probably agree that advanced Web design is time-consuming. Few people have the time and all the skills required to create an advanced Web on their own. Even when an individual has all these skills, many companies cannot afford to wait for one developer to complete the project. That is why most Web developers form teams. Chapter 38 will demonstrate how to extend the reach of what you can accomplish by forming a team with your fellow students or co-workers. If you are using this book in a course in which the instructor has encouraged you to form a team, the collaboration techniques taught in Chapter 38 should be particularly useful.

Regardless of whether you work alone or form a team, every Web designer should know about the custom controls you can add to the Visual Studio toolbox. There is a large market for custom controls. Chances are good that your project could save time by acquiring a custom control that already does the work of a tool you would otherwise need to develop yourself. As a final touch, Chapter 39 concludes this book by showing you how to add custom controls to the Visual Studio toolbox. After learning how to create new panes in the toolbox and rearrange the controls as you want them, you will practice downloading, installing, and using demonstration versions of some third-party controls created by the author. Then the book will conclude by providing you with links to a wide range of Visual Studio .NET custom controls and tool builders.
