Pro ASP.NET 2.0 E-Commerce in C# 2005 takes you through the e-commerce web application development cycle, from conception to coding to deployment and maintenance. It will also help you maximize your potential profits, learn what risks are involved, and take the necessary steps to minimize those risks. The book begins by introducing e-commerce systems and lays out the toolset. To help you learn about meeting and overcoming real-world challenges, the book features a case study of a fictional company, Little Italy Vineyards.
As you progress through the book, youll focus on e-commerce requirements, then proceed to model the objects utilizing UML to generate and define the complete architecture for the example application. Once you put it all together, youll address the site coding. In this section, author Paul Sarknas demonstrates how the practical application of modern programming techniques, like web services and Ajax, can have direct impact on your customers user experience and the success of your site.
After design and development are complete, the author focuses on utilizing the best deployment methods for maintaining the application and allowing maximum scalability. By the end of this book, youll have all the skills youll need to begin creating professional quality e-commerce systems from the ground up.

Rating: - Practical.
The content is well-presented in a logical fashion, it's examples are useful and re-usable. The author doesn't makes use of a few things that are beyond the scope of in-depth discussion within the book (such as MS DB Helper) but he gives sufficient information to use and understand these elements.
The code is occasionally illogical (to me) in its layout. For example the declaration of public class variables being left to the end of a file may lead a total novice to wonder why intelisense is ... Read More
Rating: - Good concept, but flawed in execution
Picked up this book and was rather excited to build a function, sample, website that I could use as a baseline e-commerce site for practical use and as a demonstration site. While Paul Sarknas's book demonstrates good design concepts, the document is fundamentally flawed in execution. The code in the book is buggy, and in fact does not match the code that can be downloaded (for free) from Apress. I've spent more time debugging the code that I have reading the book. To add to the problems getting ... Read More
Rating: - Recommended
I wanted to get up to speed quickly on ASP web apps and e-commerce so I bought this book for it's tutorial value.
It's a very easy read; succinct and well organized. No goofy jokes or silly icon symbols. Treatments of requirements gathering and UML are so light they're nearly useless. However, the book is a case study and tutorial, not a treatise on a particular discipline.
I rate it 4, because it's BLOATED with HTML and C# code. But, no need to type it, since it's available ... Read More
Rating: - Good approach and layout, although some bugs in codes
I like the book's approach and organization. It really has a easy to follow order, and I like how the author ties everything up at the end of a chapter or section. I'm new to ASP.NET but I've picked up what he's teaching because I understood his approach. I also liked his use of multi-tier approach to application development (which others might simply expect on a "Pro" book, but I find it quite insightful as a beginner). I also like its visual diagrams of tables and classes which made it easy to go back to from ... Read More
Rating: - Good starting point for layered architecture
Overall a pretty good book that covers design and implementation concepts that can be used for nearly any type of ASP.NET application. Although I understand why the author chose to exclusively use Stored Procedures to implement database access, I do wish he implemented some functionality that didn't use stored procedures in order to futher demonstrate the use of Microsoft Data Access Application Blocks.
I would absolutely recommend reading ASP.NET 2.0 Website Programming: Problem - Design - Solution ... Read More
