Rating: - Solid title on OOP and the guts of ASP.NET
I've been developing for years, but at the urging of a forum posting by the author, I ordered this book. The stuff on OOP design stuff is kind of review for me, but I can see how it would help someone without a C++ or Java background. What I really like is the chapters on ASP.NET's overall structure. All of the popular books leave out stuff about handlers and modules, and especially the request/response event cycle, and it's that rich system that makes ASP.NET such a joy to work with. The preface is dead on: The book gives you context on the "why" and how to apply it to the platform. I can think of several colleagues at work that need this book.
