Rating: - ASP.NET for those who don't want to use Visual Studio
Bill Hatfield wrote the "Dummies" books on the original versions of ASP so you would think he would be the perfect person to carry over into the ASP.NET books, right? The problem for me with this book (and his previous ASP.NET Dummies book) is that Microsoft has created this marvelous environment called Visual Studio but Bill seems to think I prefer hand coding my pages using Notepad or FrontPage. While he does give a 'nod' to Visual Web Developer Express in one chapter of the book, he pretty much ... Read More
Rating: - Great first book!
I just happen to find this book in the library when I was looking for a quick guide/tutorial. I've read 3 books before this and so far this is the book that stands out from the rest. I give Bill 5+ stars for clearly explaining the tech stuff clearly. Nevermind the typos, that's up to the proofreading group. Kudos to this book!
Rating: - A better title would include the words "visual basic"
I think Dummies books are hit-or-miss. I always start with them, when embarking on something I am a dummy at. About half the time, they put you off to a good first step. That's not a bad record at all.
I'll always be grateful to the Dummies series, which got me started writing code with the help of Wallace Wang's Visual Basic 6 for Dummies.
This Dummies book is the best one I have read yet. But I like it for reasons that may not serve every customer of the book, so be warned. ... Read More
Rating: - ASP.NET for DUMMIES
Only having truly scanned through and hit the highlights of this book thus far. I already see many familiar concepts broken down into much simpler terms which allow me to quickly grasp the meat of the ASP language and paired with my new understanding of C# feel as though I will be able to use this book as a reference for a long time to come. The CD examples are also very good for visual and hands on learning.
Rating: - Great for getting oriented to .Net web development
I am a software developer with 24 years experience, and have been doing .Net Windows Form database programming for the past 5+ years.
As I am new to web development and will soon be working on an ASP.Net 2.0 project, I've been checking out the available books on this topic. I happened to look through this one at Borders, although I normally steer clear of "Dummies" books (guess I must be getting desperate..)
This seems to be one of the best books available for getting a gentle ... Read More
