Summary: A Fun Read, As Long As Typos Don't Bother You
Review: This book has a lot of useful information in it. However, I have never seen a book with so many typos before. It's as if they never read it over once before sending it to the press.

Summary: Great Book!
Review: This book is excellent for ASP.net.The way the book has been written , it had me hooked to it from page one to the end like a thriller!!!!And i easily passed the MCAD/MCSD paper (Exam 70-305 on ASP.net) at the first attempt ,simply by reading this book and little bit on MSDN online.I would highly recommend this book for those who want to give MCAD by really understanding the subject and not by taking shortcuts like braindumps etc.

Summary: A great book for a great new technology
Review: This book is spectacular. It covers almost anything you may want to know about ASP.Net. And if you get ASP.net-Tips,Tutorials and Code and XML for ASP.Net then you can be one of the best ASP.Net programmers in no time.
For all those bad reviews that say that there are the structure of the book is bad I say: You are not much of a programmer if you need to run the programs that come with programming books. For the bad organization my assumption is that many of you are ASP programmers that were expecting something close to ASP but you stumbled upong the world of OOP with real compiled languages. I am a very good C++/VB Programmer and I found it easy to follow the examples and make almost everything without a problem after finishing this book.Martin

Summary: This is a good Beta2/Rtm Book
Review: This book is targetted at beta2, but should also be fine for the RTM version of ASP.NET too, since there should be no breaking changes, just some additions. Why are people saying this book doesn't work with beta2? ... All the samples work fine on beta2.

Summary: First bad Wrox Book i ever bought
Review: This book is the worst i've seen from Wrox. I am a dedicated Wrox reader and i have to say that something went wrong in writing this one. The title of this is Professional ASP.NET and it gives you behind the scenes of .NET Framework with C# examples. It jumps from topic to topic within the same chapters. Most i've read so far, "Explained in chapter x". I would not get this book.

Summary: No Code-Behinds, No VS.NET, Almost Entirely in VB.NET
Review: This is a good ASP.NET book for "Notepad Developers" who are migrating from VBScript to VB.NET or are learning VB.NET from scratch. There are some JScript and C# examples in the book but it is primarily VB.NET. I am using VS.NET which promotes "code-behinds" so this book is tougher to learn from for me. I like Wrox books but I will choose a different one (maybe from Wrox, Apress, or MSPress) to strengthen my skills with ASP.NET and VS.NET. You can count on solid content when Rob Howard is writing. Good web security stuff. I have been a fan of his since his Site Server P&M book (ISBN: 1861001940) hit the market.

Summary: Time for Wrox to Change
Review: This is a good book but here goes. I like Wrox books on the whole. They have become the de-facto standard for anyone who is serious about programming, but I have to admit that I am tired of reading 800+ page behemoths when I have to have something up and running in a week. The fact that they have so many authors per book throws the red flag. I don't have 6 to 10 of me to read what takes 6 of you to write. I keep coming back to Wrox because they usually have what we need but cmon' it's time to help us out. Keep the quality but PLEASE cut back on the needless volume. I am ready to start buying other titles if this doesn't change. I don't have time to read these anymore. And as a side note, for those who have not cracked them open yet, the Microsoft help files are really good for a change in .NET. I learned vb .NET very quickly using them.

Summary: The first and the best
Review: This is a great book that not only introduces ASP.NET, but the main .NET framework classes and is updated to Beta 2 status. Almost all examples are in VB.NET. I would have liked to see more in C# as this seems to be the way that Microsoft is pushing. I would have given 5 stars for C# sample code.

Summary: Comprehensive VB-ASP.NET introduction
Review: This is another excellent Wrox publication, even more impressive when you consider the short amount of time required by the authors to get a handle on the information and present it in such a meaningful, detailed manner. It has the usual methodical presentation of code to explain every issue. As an introduction, it is required reading for ASP.NET developers, as it covers all the bases you'll need until your next Wrox ASP.NET read. People who fault the code examples simply expect too much from a work describing a radically new programming environment still in beta. Furthermore, the critics as developers must be motivated enough to seek code from multiple resources. I am very pleased the book stays with VB throughout (while, comparable C# syntax is often presented.) Buy a C# book if you want to learn C#. I bought the book with the hope of learning ASP.NET based on my current skillset (and the vast majority of ASP developers): VB. My only complaint is that the examples are based on the |
