Summary: session variables
Review: According to Ch. 9 all session variables are there for, is to write debug pages. Whoa! that's VERY interesting, however I would have thought that, just maybe, there is more to that than what this book offers, not. A very disappointing manual as a whole, and particurlarly annoying when one realises than the only reason this book is as thick as it is, is due not to content, but use of large fonts and continual repetitions. Not to be recommended.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Decent preview
Review: Although I am a little late I'd like to add my review for those of you who are planning to purchase this book. I think it is a nice pioneering review for ASP+. (ASP.NET). A lot has been said about .NET, the only thing I'd like to add that this book was probably the first one to be published about the .NET platform even before the name was .NET. So the info in the book is still relevant but the names have changed a little bit. If you are interested in learning the .NET platform get a more recent source other wise to learn ASP.NET I believe it is a good choice. I'll give it 5 points mainly because the examples are written in c# which is a nice change. If you'd prefer VB there are still enough examples.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good but examples mostly in C#
Review: ASP+ is the future... Gideon '00

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: It *was* good as an intro to ASP.NET
Review: I enjoyed getting this book so early on in the .NET beta. Obviously superceded now, and full of repetitive sections, but with no competition it was a winner! ;-)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good but examples mostly in C#
Review: I think this is a good book for an introduction to the new features of ASP+ (ASP.Net). The topics it covers, such as data binding, controls, and Web services, really focus on the new features that make ASP.Net so powerful. The only problem that I had with the book is that most of the examples, especially towards the end with the more complex chapters, were all written in C#. Since I have never written a line of C++ this made things a little more difficult for me to understand. I would have liked to see the Wrox team show all the examples in C# and VB throughout the entire book, or at least a better mix. Overall though the book was worth it - thinking about the applications that I have written, I was really able to see what the changes would be and how they could help web applications.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not the book expected
Review: I'm not going to tell you the book is terrible, because it isn't. It's just that I expected a book that would explain things better. How can a book have a chapter on Data and Data Binding and not even show you how to go about creating a new record in a DB or updating a record. The book is not cool, the technology is... since the book gives you a little taste of it, you feel this book is cool. Just Because I'm writing this doesn't mean you shouldn't buy it... all i'm saying is that it could be much better and that i can't way for the next full-version book.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Save your money for full blown release
Review: There will be several more changes to the .NET framework. Notice how I said .NET and not ASP+.... It is no longer called that. The examples are okay but the explanations are not that great and lacks the typical reader involvement that I have grown to love from the WROX family. This is my first disappointing review for WROX and hope it's my last. Save your money for BizTalk or Commerce Server books until this is a fully baked language and framework.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great book to get started
Review: This is a great book (as to be expected from Alex Homer) for beginning to understand .Net and ASP+. It doesn't go into the .Net framework in too much detail but explains how ASP has progressed to ASP+ and ADO to ADO+. A must read for any ASP devloper who wants to move to .Net

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great staring point
Review: This is one great book that I found when I started working in the new Dot area. But surely this is not for beginers. You must have little bit knowledge about Microsoft web dev paradigm along with general web development to get along with it. The examples are very useful. And as usual the authors never bore you. I highly recommend this book as a great buy.
