This is a very accessible book. Short and to the point. It assumes you download the complete CS SDK( eg CS2007) and that you are using VS2005. If covers all the basics that CS2+ uses, eg the effect of URL rewriting within the HTTP Module pipeline to how AJAX.NET works, using Control Extenders etc. Then once you have compiled the who project and built your own CS2007, looks at how to use or customize each of the groups of controls used by CS. It also have a chapter on the CSS and Themes.
