Rating: - book review from AskBargains.com
very nice book, easy to follow. include almost all the details of the ASP.NET 3.5
Rating: - For anyone new to ASP.NET
I've been a professional software engineer for seven years with a background in .NET Windows development. I have no prior experience with web development and found this book to be a fantastic introduction to ASP.NET. Though it may not give you all the details, it's aptly titled, "Beginning ASP.NET..." and provides a strong understanding of ASP.NET concepts.
This is the third book I've purchased in order to learn ASP.NET and it is by far the best.
Though I wouldn't likely recommend this book to any seasoned ASP.NET developer looking to brush up on the new 3.5 features (that's not what this book is for) I would highly recommend it to anyone new to ASP.NET. After my misadventures with other ASP.NET books, I am thrilled with this one.
(A note to some of those giving low marks to the book: judge the book for what it is, not for what you want it to be. Buying a book titled "Beginning ASP.NET 3.5" and complaining that it doesn't have enough useful information for a professional ASP.NET developer is silly. I could just as easily give this book low marks for not going into enough detail on the C# language - but that's not what the book is for!)
Rating: - Excellent: better than others
This was a breath of fresh air, and restored my hopes that some authors do care about training, really teaching, really conveying meaning -not just padding pages. This book gives excellent overviews of web development, of web-development with ASP.NET, and of Visual Studio. All topics thereafter are properly introduced, the big picture conveyed, before details explored. Code dumps are sparse and pertinent, not filler fluff. Writing style is of the highest quality: rich, correct, to the point, but interesting. The author makes the topic very exciting, and seems to know you, seems to know your level, what you need explained.
Rating: - Great book
This book is the best so far that I've read on ASP.NET. I will list the good points.
1. Explains the internal workings of ASP.NET and what goes on behind the scenes unlike other books who just teach you the syntax.
2. Explains the pros and cons of using different but related controls/classes so that we can make an intelligent choice.
3. Explains the properties of classes concisely and with simple examples.
4. Explains the history of Internet server, visual studio IDE, asp.net.
This is really an excellent, nearly comprehensive book touching on nearly all aspect of asp.net. However, it doesn't teach you C#, the programming language which is found on another book.
