Book Description Are you trying to decide which ASP.NET 2.0 book to buy?
As its title implies, this book teaches you how to develop web applications using ASP.NET 2.0. That means it teaches all the features that are new in ASP.NET 2.0, including master pages, database access using both SQL and object data sources, the new code-behind model, site navigation features, authentication using the Web Site Administration tool and login controls, profiles, themes, and web parts. But that's just the beginning! Here are just a few of the features that set this book apart from other ASP.NET 2.0 books:
#1: It gives you a 5-chapter section on database programming This is an area that's changed dramatically from ASP.NET 1.x. So this section teaches you how to use SQL data sources and the GridView, DetailsView, and FormView controls… all new in ASP.NET 2.0 …to develop database applications with little or no C# code. Then, it teaches how to use object data sources, also new in ASP.NET 2.0, to create 3-layer applications that let you separate the presentation code from the data access code in an application.
#2: It teaches you ASP.NET 2.0 development the way it should be done, using Visual Studio 2005 Today, no developer should miss out on the productivity features of Visual Studio 2005 by using limited tools like Notepad. So section 1 in this book teaches you how to use Visual Studio 2005 to design, code, and test multi-page web applications that get database data and manage session state. Then, later chapters cover time-saving VS tools like the Query Builder and the Web Site Administration Tool.
#3: Complete applications show you how all the pieces interact The key to mastering ASP.NET 2.0 is to have plenty of real-world applications that guide you in using the new features you're learning…and that help you avoid the problems that you can run into as you build complex web sites. That's why this book gives you complete applications, including the web forms, the aspx code, and the C# code.
So if you need to learn ASP.NET 2.0, we hope you'll try this book first. We're convinced that it will deliver the training you need in record time.

Rating: - Excellent book
Murach's C# 2005 and Murach's ASP.NET 2.0 with C# 2005 are plainly excellent books.
They are organized and presented in such a way that the reader can learn very fast and acquire a very complete knowledge about C# and ASP.NET.
These books go directly to the point, in a practical way, presenting examples that can be applied to real programs. The way they are organized makes them useful for learning and for reference.

I like this book. It is a fast read. It is written so that someone fairly new to programming can create a website in c#. Even though I am experienced programmer in VB, there were many tidbits of information that I got from this book. The fact that is such an easy read makes it all that much better.
I have read some other harsh reviews. In all fairness, this book is geared toward someone new to web application development. Murach tries to encompass what would take about 4 books and ... Read More
Rating: - A very, very good book with clear examples and excellent real-world tutorials ...
As a self-taught developer, I rely on programming texts to not only provide the syntax and rules of a language, but also to provide real-world examples and problems that reinforce the material. Because the move from the living room desktop to a professional cubicle is daunting, practical tutorials are an absolute necessity. And the Murach team's offerings never disappoint.
Murach's C# 2005 and ASP.NET 2.0 Web Programming With C# are a two volume set that will take a disciplined beginner ... Read More
Rating: - ASP,NET 2.0 explained in a way that is understandable.
I had recently checked this book out of the corporate Library where I work. There are about 60 copies avaiable for checkout, and I was #37 on the waiting list. I had to keep checking it out in order to keep reading it. This bacame an inefficient way to read the book so I purchased my own copy, and I am glad I did.
This book is a fantastic learning tool as well as an excellent referrence book. I am currently taking an ASP.NET class and I have found that the book is actually in parallel with the ... Read More
Rating: - Great book!
This is a great book that'll help you hit the ground running. Sort of falls short on really specific things when it comes to writing code for maintaining a database. Gives the reader a quick overview of the key parts of the language, but not much else.
It helps to have a few years experience of Visual Studio under the belt. I don't think I'd recommend this for beginners. It mainly deals with 4 languages at once. Html, ASP, C# and SQL. I've had experience with SQL, HTML, and C# previously. ... Read More
