Rating: - Valuable resource
Although the tone and style vary pretty drastically in this book (as a asp.net blog reader, I think I can accurately guess who wrote what), the knowledge contained is very valuable. This book represents the difference between having a professional technical writer write a book and having actual, working professionals write a book. All of the authors are leaders (of a kind) in the field and I always felt like I was talking to a smart peer, rather than getting annoyed with the review of basics like ... Read More
Rating: - First book I reach for...
I was a long time (15 year) Windows application developer with no serious web development chops when I landed my first ASP.net project. I purchased this book (along with a couple others), and The ASP.NET 2.0 Anthology has thus far been a Godsend for me. It's organized in a very useful problem/solution format, and since I tend to know what I want to do, but not necessarily how to do it in ASP.net, this book ends up being the first one I reach for on my bookshelf.
Additionally, since the chapters ... Read More
Rating: - Improve your projects
This is not an ASP.NET for beginers book. But is far more than a recipe book. If you have already been developing ASP.NET applications, you can read through this book and immediately use the concepts to radically improve your solutions and to simplify development for future projects. Examples are thorough and clear. If you are an experienced developer and could only have one ASP.NET book, this would be it (for most other ASP.NET books, I can find the equivalent information quicker with Google, not true ...

Rating: - Better Late than Never
This will be the last ASP.Net 2.0 book I will buy which is not saying it is the best one but it came late much later than any other release. I wish more books were written like this this but with just a little more meat. What software books should have is a developer and not a writer or publisher guiding the TOC. Web Page Development is not rocket science though many of these books that have 2000 pages or more make it out to be. What we need as developers is someone who has weeded though all of the features ... Read More
Rating: - excellent ASP.NET book
After skimming through my new read I must say, SitePoint can write some amazing books! I love how each section is prefaced with a question:
"How do I read data from my database?"
"How do I use source control?"
"How do I require users to log in?"
This method seems to flow easier for me in understanding new development techniques and code.
If you are interested in learning ASP.NET 2.0 using C# or just looking to refine your ASP.NET 2.0 skills then this is a must ... Read More
