Rating: - Decent book for the complete beginner.
This is a pretty decent book if you have no programming experience what-so-ever. If you do have programming experience (namely C#) then you will find a huge portion of this book completely useless.
This book starts off by teaching you how ASP.NET works. This is good information for any programmer to know, but after you learn that then it's all basics. You learn about data types, variables, properties, loops, events... pretty much all the most fundamental aspects of programming. This ... Read More
Rating:  - Disappointed
Unfortunately this book did nothing for me. I was looking for a beginners guide for ASP.Net that would get me started programming with C# while learning the features of .NET. I chose Wrox because I found some of their other books very useful.
This book wastes alot of time on the Web Matrix which is both pretty useless for the beginner and the professional alike. If you are trying to be an ASP.Net professional, Visual Studio would be your choice. And if you are beginner you want to learn ... Read More
Rating:  - Great Book - you will learn to create real world websites!
I needed to learn ASP.NET for a new project. I know HTML, VB6 and SQL but had no previous experience with ASP or other internet stuff. I was initially going to buy a similar book from O'Reilly but I like this one way much better even though it has some mistakes, typpos and pictures in the wrong places here and there. Wrox will probably fix it all in a second edition. In the mean time they could fire the people who did the revision. Things that other readers mentioned as a CON, I find a PRO in this ... Read More
Rating:  - Professionals Be Warned...
The examples in this book are built with a free product called WebMatrix. Most (if not all) professionals must use Visual Studio, which is the preferred development environment for all .NET languages. Learning ASP.Net programming without using Visual Studio will only take you half way to your goal.
WebMatrix is also used as the Web Server, so you won't get IIS exposure. If you are a professional, or want to be one, look for a book that uses Visual Studio and IIS.
Rating: - An Excellent Book - But There Are Caveats
I have always been happy with the Wrox series, and this one is no exception.
The book starts out explaining about .net and getting you up and running with some "Hello World!" stuff and basic controls on a webpage. It then goes into various datatypes and describes some of the fun data structures built into .net and some basic stuff on how to use them. It then explains some basic c# functionality, and goes on to explain the object-oriented nature of it. After this, databases are discussed ... Read More
