Rating: Summary: Books looks great .... Review: ...but becomes a big disapointment until you try to run the samples. I think the book is based on beta 2. No problem about that but why don't they put an update on a website.
Rating: Summary: Very Helpful Review: As somemone who has been programming in VB for years, but who is new to .NET, and as someone who doesn't do well with just reading manuals, I found this book very helpful and well written. It walks you through 10 examples that can be built on to create "real-world" web applications and explains the thought process behind the code very well.
Rating: Summary: Good in spite of the errors Review: I considered many books before choosing this one because it had an approach which fit the way that I learn. I'll be reviewing some of the projects many times to understand the method behind the design of the projects. Unfortunately, some of the projects were simply unfinished, or had problems that would prevent them from working correctly. It's still worth it -- there's a lot here.
Rating: Summary: update the website! Review: might be 4 stars if the proper code updates were placed on the website.
Rating: Summary: Real Projects & Solid Code Review: The projects are hosted on the internet at www.10ProjectsWithASP.net and they work well.
But you better make sure the book you buy has a CD in it because you cannot download the code online. That is extremely bogus in my case because I bought a used book at amazon marketplace and the seller said it was with a CD and that was a lie. smoky mtn books if you are curious who it was.
Otherwise the projects are really useful, real world projects.
Rating: Summary: very disappointed!!! Review: this book contains lots of errors. The author even don't care to upload the correct codes to his website.
Rating: Summary: Outstanding book! Review: This book is outstanding! I've learned almost as much from it as from Microsoft's own "IBuySpy" demo site. Probably the thing I like most about it was that it is written correctly, using code-behind pages and OO programming principles, not just slopped out as an example. Just being able to use the code as-is without having to translate to "real world" standards is a real relief. I've got probably a dozen ASP.NET books, and this is the one (along with SAM's ASP.NET Unleashed) that stays by my side.
Rating: Summary: Good book if you can catch the errors. Review: This book provides some very interesting examples of ASP.NET in practical, usable scenarios. Unfortunately, as prior posters have noted, the book is plagued with errors. I generally like the book, and hope that the next printing will correct some of the terrible typos. It's a shame that such a good book has such problems. I would recommend ASP.NET: TIPS, TUTORIALS, AND CODE as an alternative to this book if you're uncomfortable with correcting the author's code.
