Content management system: This system used to manage the content of a Web site consists of the content management, metacontent management, and content delivery applications. 2. C# and ASP.NET: These underlying technologies are introduced and then applied extensively. 3. ADO.NET: All aspects relevant to dynamic content management are covered. 4. XML: Extensible Markup Language (XML) is introduced and then applied in the programmatic updating of the config.web file. 5. Authentication, authorization, and encryption: These topics are discussed in the book, especially with regard to protected content and system administration. 6.
