I like this book because it covers all the key aspects of building a secure professional Web site, and pays special attention to databases and controls. I especially like the attention paid to security.

I am reading this book now for some time. I have worked through the first 5 chapters and I am now in middle of the sixth. The content might be pretty accurate and maybe even comprehensive but there are 4 MAJOR problems which overshadow anything else. They are what I wrote in the title:
A) MISSING: The author almost never starts by stating "add a new class and name it whatever" or "add three textboxes and one label". just throws you something like "heres the complete code" now from the ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent intro and reference .net 2.0 book
I have bought several other books on 2.0 and wish I had discoverd this one first. In each of the different categories, this book is written in order and style to learn and use as a reference. For me, a person with vb6 and asp classic experience this one hit the nail on the head.
Rating: - Great Introduction to ASP.NET 2005
Although this book is only an introduction, the structure and depth are more than fine. After all, to discuss every single thing ASP.NET 2.0 has to offer would require several volume of HUGE books. I would suggest this book to anyone wants to learn ASP.NET 2.0, even with background other than VB.
To the authors, you did a great job!!!
Rating: - This Book is a Must Have
I am very pleased with this book. After a couple of failed attempts to find a good ASP.NET 2.0 book I finally found this book. They really did a great job at covering a vast quantity of topics with enough substance that one can actually understand and apply to real life programming situations.
There are some typographical errors and very few examples that don't work but in sight of the great volume of information and examples given, I'd say it is acceptable.
Rating: - Excellent Learning Tool and Reference Tool
I was looking for a solid, comprehensive, yet approachable ASP.NET 2.0 book for a long time when I stumbled across Pro ASP.NET 2.0. I flipped through it and quickly realized that it is both the learning and reference tool I was wanting. Since getting the book, I have not swayed from that position. This book is a great way to get started and to keep going in your ASP.NET development efforts.
Although large (it weighs in at over 1200 pages), it is well organized and easily accessible. ... Read More
