Featured Customer Reviews Does what it says on the cover, September 09, 2005 I'm moving up from VB6/ASP and this book gave me a firm grounding in the main subjects without getting bogged down with too much HTML or elaborate samples. I took an asp.net practice exam a few days after reading it and book had covered most areas that came up. Begining asp.net from novice to pro, August 31, 2005 Real interesting book tells me what I need to know the only problem is now I dont have an excuse for not doing my home work ... Object Oriented ASP.Net!, December 16, 2004 I knew what was the difference between ASP and ASP.Net and wanted to find a book that deals with writing ASP.net page in an object oriented approach. THIS IS THE BOOK. It takes you slowly from the basics of .Net, architecture, whats new etc and has good amount of examples. My perspective about Asp.Net is changing as I'm reading this book. If you have an asp/vb background this book is great for you. Not a reference book for ASP.Net. So ppl who have already read through ASP.Net in detail please refrain or don't complain. I absolutely love this book and so far I've finished 1/3rd of the book. I'm hoping to finish this book this week and continue on to the book by Fritz Onion. good starter book for ASP.Net, August 24, 2004 This is the first book I have read on ASP. NET and I was very impressed. The language was simple and the style was easy and flowing throughout the book. The author does a competent job in explaining the difference between the different type of Web technologies out there and the advantages and disadvantages of each. There is a vast expanse of topics covered from basic to advanced as is suggested in the title of the book: `Novice to Professional'. There are plenty of examples in the book and also on the website that demonstrate the topics covered in the book. All topics are covered in a clear and concise manner without going into a lot of unnecessary detail especially for readers new to .NET like myself. The only downside to this book is that, as it does not go into a lot of detail it would probably not appeal to someone who is already a .NET expert. I would recommend this book to anyone who is making a transformation from Classic ASP to .NET but as I have mentioned earlier it is not recommended for those trying to get an in-depth knowledge of the subject. I know that it has helped me to understand the core functionalities of .NET Buyer beware: older than it looks, May 05, 2004 I bought this book last week, thinking it was a new book because the date is in this year. But, as I started skimming through it, I think now it is really an old book, that has been updated some but not well. How do I think this? Look at many of the screens in chapter 11 (Trace, Log, Error Handling) - they all show dates in 2001 (screen 11-9, 11-10, 11-11)! Same in chapter 17, screen 17-7. Probably many more. If that's when this was really written, .NET 1.0 was still beta then, so this is beta .NET, not even 1.0 even though back of book says 1.1. I haven't found any specific errors yet, but I worry. Only place I see 1.1 mentioned in book so far is in introduction. I see a lot of these old 2001 screens right away but not 1.1. Good thing I got this cheap.
