Beginning Object-Oriented ASP.NET 2.0 with VB .NET covers all of the basics, from definition to inheritance. This book even includes a chapter on Visual Studio 2005 and Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0, enabling you to create ASP.NET 2.0 applications. Also included are chapters on creating web forms, web controls, and web services. Code samples illustrate the usage of each concept.
If you have a background in procedural programming, this book will teach you what a class is, how it relates to an object, and how to model real-world data into a class. You will be able to create a class in VB .NET, add properties and methods, and use that class in a simple ASP.NET web application created with VB .NET.

Don't get this book if you have _any_ experience in programming or have little patience for repetition or word count padding. I suffered through the whole thing just so I could feel justified in writing this review.
"HTML elements are not available to the server, because they are text that is passed through to the browser." O.M.G. How did I go all this time without realizing that HTML is text that is "passed through" to the browser?! Sentences like this one are commonplace: "The HTML ... Read More
Rating: - OOP concepts are clearly explained
I've just purchased a copy of this book and am enjoying reading it. It's written in a very clear and concise manner and a breeze to read. The OOP concepts are clearly explained with accompanying diagrams. Does exactly what it says on the tin.
Rating: - Good introduction to object oriented programming!

Rating: - Emphasis on the 'Beginning'
If you are not an introductory user then this book is a quick read and overpriced. The subject matter was well selected but the depth of content, writing style, and cookbook mentality was disappointing.
Rating: - not bad
When this book says it's from Novice to Pro, I expected some advanced notions. It covers many topics, but very briefly.

I reckon the price I paid (CAN $37 ) is way too high for this book, but I gave it to some people who needed an introduction for ASP w/.Net and they ... Read More
