Product Description C# was developed from the ground up to serve as the main language for Microsoft's new .NET framework--and to compete with Java. C# Web Development for ASP.NET: Visual QuickStart Guide is aimed at beginning developers who may have experience with scripting languages but are not necessarily experienced with object-oriented languages. Using task-based examples and hundreds of screenshots, all code examples are presented in the context of ASP.NET development, aimed at Web developers. While C# Web Development for ASP.NET: Visual QuickStart Guide does not attempt to teach everything about the .NET Framework, it clearly explains all you need to know to get up and running with the C# language.
Featured Customer Reviews ET_Review,
August 03, 2007 A very good book with plenty of explanations and examples. I am now working with C# with confidence as opposed to the fearful
approach I took prior to reading it. Not written very well,
April 13, 2007 The book is ok for code snippets. But, if you try to develop and run the project for each chapter you will become frustrated. The complete code is not in the text and even the download code is also incomplete. I agree with the other reviewers who said the author went from topic to topic without explaining anything. Decent book, geared towards beginners who don't want to get too technical,
August 26, 2006 The Good: I like the format of this book; lots of pictures and lots of very short sections to work through.
The Bad: The problem I noticed is that it doesn't present a very technical look at C# like an Apress or Wrox book would do. But that's ok, I guess, since the Visual Quickstarts are made to get a beginner up and running quickly. The other part I found interesting is taht the book covered advanced subjects, such as Delegates, Events, Inheritance and Interfaces, without first taking a deep look at the UI components. For a beginner I think things would make much more sense when learned from UI down.
The book is definitely geared towards beginners, but I would have a hard time recommending it to my beginner friends due to the short amount of coverage given to building ASP.NET UIs. Great Book! Don't listen to the others.,
July 20, 2006 I have read this book when I was first starting out and it helped me tremendously. This is a great book with good examples by a very good author. Is this book a bit outdated already !,
July 03, 2006 It is amazing how short the shelf life for some of these software titles is. There are a couple of new freebies from Microsoft that makes learning C# & ASP.net web development a whole lot simpler.
1. Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition:
This is a free download from Microsoft. So your choices are no longer limited to either buying the full blown commercial version or use notepad as editor and compile on the command line (as the author describes early in his book).
2. IIS is no longer essential:
ASP.net development server is included in the express edition download. With this server, you will no longer need to install IIS. So you can do development even on XP home edition. While you will not be able to use this as a deployment solution, it nevertheless works for developing and testing web pages on a local machine (or for learning as is the case).
Note: The menu paths and some of the options mentioned in this book are not for the express edition. So if you do decide to go with the express edition, you may want to skip this book. Otherwise some sections of this book might be confusing.
