Real-World ASP.NET: Building a Content Management System

Rating:
Summary: great book!
Review: This book is good, it cleared my doubts and have enabled me to learn how it is implemented throught it's internal workings.

At least, the author does a better job than some "TOP SECRET agents" with their "classified documents".

Summary: Better than I expected
Review: When I bought this book, I was expecting pages upon pages of code with little explaining. I thought it would simply be a cheap way of getting a CMS for my site. Boy as I wrong! This book provided me with much of the theory about CMSs that I sadly lacked, and provided details about CMSs that I could not find anywhere else, like what makes up the core of a CMS. I liked the book's detailed explanations about Version control and Workflow, but the coverage of personalization was especially insightful, such as when he showed how the law of diminishing returns applies to it. With a firm backing in theory, the book continued by actually applying it. I wasn't let down: there was a lot of code. But there were plenty of detailed explanations along with it. This is truly Real World ASP.NET
