Brilliant !! (0/0 people found this helpful)

I've tried other books, online videos, classes, the lot.
I wish I'd seen this book earlier as it done it all for me. Perfect for learning, code alongside a real project, clear and effective.

Get it now !!

Slap on the wrist (0/0 people found this helpful)

I titled this as 'Slap on the wrist' NOT for the book, but for MYSELF!
After buying this book in early 2006, it was left out of sight amongst my many programming books little read.

Having recently started a new job, I needed to convert from VB.NET to C# and pulled this book off my shelf for another look.

What a pleasant surprise to see everything you need to construct a well driven website, laid out very simply, with good examples in both VB and C#.
I SHOULD HAVE READ THIS BOOK SOONER!

An ideal start for anyone new to intermediate level in ASP.NET with good explanations and no geeky stuff.

It includes configuration of IIS, SQL Server Instances and the Web server,
View and Session states, Control events, Validation controls, Database design, SQL, ADO.NET, Data lists, Datagrids and Details view.

Also included is advanced data access, Security, User authentication and Roles, Working with Files and Email.

Well worth the money!!

An absolute must own for newbies and pros alike. (1/1 people found this helpful)

I love this book SO much. I hate reading techie books, I find it difficult to learn from a book without being able to produce something "real" at the end. Most techie books provide snippets that are hard to understand in relation to the rest of the code you might have. This book starts a project in the early chapters and uses the things learned throught out each chapter to improve the project.

This book takes you from nothing to something without the authors trying to prove to you that they know what they are writing about. What I mean by this is that they are able to explain the concepts in a nice clear and concise way that make it the first techie book I have not wanted to put down. They do this without using terms and examples that just make them look geeky and you feel stupid.

Buy this book, you won't regret it.

Excellent book to get started on ASP.NET (0/0 people found this helpful)

I bought ASP.Net for Dummies before this book, and even after going through a quite a few chapters did'nt feel confident enough to go ahead with ASP.NET. I wish I hadnt bothered with the Dummies book because this was the only book I needed.

The best thing about this book is that it takes you through an example intranet website, and really covers many features of ASP.NET(including database connectivity) during the process. The book is well laid out and easy to read and the dorknozzle example is fun to create.

On the Whole a Good Book (7/7 people found this helpful)

I read this entire book in a weekend prior to carrying out an ASP.NET 2.0 development project for a client, as my web experience is in developing in other languages.

On the whole this was a good book, and certainly for the amateur developer, this will definitely get you up and started and building quality websites.

However, the book uses ASP.NET 2.0 in a scripting fashion. There are no examples of object orientation or encapsulation of coding at all. It therefore left me completely high and dry when writing an object orientated designed site.

I still occasionally refer to it though for scripting scenarios. I would advise a professional developer to buy a professional book instead.
