Rating: - I found it very useful
This MSPress publication is an excellent resource and bridges a rather wide gap. There aren't a lot of books that have its goals, although I believe SitePoint and Wrox have some offerings. This is the best of what I've seen. I gave it 5 stars, although maybe 4.5 would be more accurate. I notice that several reviewers gave it fewer stars, but I think they expected a different type of book. It's more for people who are newer to the topic, or relatively light users, but who may have a little background ... Read More
Rating: - Tries to do too much and fails completely
This is a terrible book. It is neither good for learning ASP.NET or learning Web DB application development. The author is not all that knowledgeable about .NET.

Rating: - Is a new edition due soon?
This was very helpful book, full of examples. I like the writer's style, which is concise and moves right ahead. However, I wish that Jim used an increasingly popular method to reference the code-- with colored numbers or something to help call out which line he was explaining. His explanations got bogged down a bit by the way he referenced his own code blocks. Visually beefing this up, would have been welcomed.
I found his brief notes and tips to be useful advice- delivered from an experienced ... Read More
Rating: - General introducting to web
It is a general discussion on setting up a web but very little on the web database programming.
