This is a great book for getting started with ASP.Net. Every chapter is filled with codes to try along with the CD to help you out. Does not cover everything but that would be impossible in one book.
Rating: - (Very) Humble Beginnings
At 700+ pages this text contains way too much fluff and filler to be a useful guide to the beginning ASP developer.

But my problem is that if you don't understand the code behind it, when something breaks you can't fix it since I am unaware of any drag and drop tools that do that for you.
My point being this book should have been titled. "asp.net with c# only using the free visual web developer ... Read More
