Beginning ASP.NET Databases Using VB.NET

Summary: Direct, no-nonsense approach
Review: What I liked most of this book is the plain, simple and direct approach to the different database access methods using ASP.NET with VB.NET. As an added bonus, at the end of each chapter there is a Common Mistakes sections that briefly discuss pitfall you can (and will) encounter trying out the topics discussed. And, gratefully, all the contributors (seven in total) follow the same discussion flow, unlike some of the others books from Wrox lately.

Check out the great (and for me, undocumented) tip at the end of Chapter 3 on Configuration Settings, because that is worth the price of the book alone!

Very well done that even newbies will be able to follow.
