Average Rating:
Rating: - I would avoid this book. Tries to cover every topic, but not enough details
They give you an introduction to just about every thing you can think of in ASP.NET. The big problem though is the chapters do not give nearly enough details. They give you an overview, maybe 1-2 very simple examples, and that's it! If you are creating a web app for business purposes you will surely encounter many ASP issues that are NOT addressed in this book. In the end, you will end up buying 2-3 more books to make up for the lack of details in this one, therefore I would advise to pass on ... Read More
Rating: - Very Easy to Understand - Humoristic Writing
Very well organized book for starter.
Reason giving only 4 stars is while the first few chapters has both C# and VB source codes, when it gets to later advanced topics, only VB codes are available.
Rating: - Pretty good All in one Reference
I have to say I'm rating this product without completly reading the whole thing, that said... I can say the book is a real useful tool to introduce you into the basics of dotNET programing.
I've programming in VBscript (ASP) pages for years, and I've been meaning to start with the dotNET stuff for quite a bit now. This book is writen in the same way as all for dummies books, very easy to follow, and very straight forward, however it's exactly about what the title says: a reference.

Rating: - Very Impressed
My company throws different projects in my lap and I have to scramble to learn new technology in order to meet the deadline.
I was very impressed on how this book helped set up things I needed in Asp.net.
Easy to find things and very easy to follow with plain explanations.
ANd, with C++ and VB reference, I was very pleased.
It might not have ALL the answers, but no book ever does.
As a beginner, I was very pleased.
