Featured Customer Reviews Misleading book title, March 29, 2006 this book isn't that bad as describe by the others readers who rated 1 star. In fact, it is elaborate some of the in-depth concept pretty well. unfortunately, this book doesn't surve the purpose of designing a real world applications. it's merely teach very fundamental of Asp.Net and doesn't really teach how to design an efficient and scalable asp.net application. I would rate more star if the title is Asp.Net in a nutshell Poorly written, September 26, 2005 I got a used one so don't feel that bad. The explanation and the code samples are very poor. I would not recommend buying this one. Just didn't like it., November 23, 2004 I read this book just after reading a really good C# book. This one paled in comparison. The writing is weak and hard to follow. I only made it about half way before I got bored and moved on. Absolutely Awful, March 29, 2004 If you're thinking about buying this book, don't. Go with a reputable publisher who puts out quality work like O'Reilly or Wrox. This book is a piece of trash. The only "interesting perspective" it provides is the nearly half of the book that is dedicated to praising what a wonderous achievement the .NET platform is. The author just can't get enough of telling people who already bought the book that .NET is better than Java and actually is an original idea. Well, he does a lot of this and very little of teaching the language. There are very few examples, and those that are there aren't useful at all. The index is also terrible, making this book also worthless as a reference book. I really can't find any redeeming qualities about this book except that it's printed on fairly high quality paper. Far better than it deserves. If you're completely new to this, it might be useful as an introduction, but there are better books for that as well.
