Rating: - Does what it says on the cover
I'm moving up from VB6/ASP and this book gave me a firm grounding in the main subjects without getting bogged down with too much HTML or elaborate samples. I took an asp.net practice exam a few days after reading it and book had covered most areas that came up.

`Novice to Professional'.
There are plenty of examples in the book ... Read More

But, as I started skimming through it, I think now it is really an old book, that has been updated some but not well. How do I think this?

If that's when this was really written, .NET 1.0 was still beta then, so this is beta .NET, not even ... Read More
