Rating: - Very Well Structured Book
I bought this book knowing a good bit about regular ASP and how to communicate with databases, hoping to learn how to do the same thing with ASP.NET. I was not disappointed.

It doesn't dwell too long on topics that it shouldn't be covering (like database design, and web site design). The instructions within the book identify software that is free, so there are no unpleasant surprises. ... Read More

Just as bread & butter go together ASP.NET and databases go together; and ... Read More
