Product Description What is this book about? This book teaches you how to build custom ASP.NET Web sites from the ground up. An expert team of authors uses their extensive ASP.NET programming experience to give you hands-on instruction in the best way to create Web sites with ASP.NET. This completely updated edition features new examples, and all code is written and tested for ASP.NET version 1.1. What does this book cover? Here's what you will learn in this book: - How to install and configure ASP.NET
- Basic programming principles for Visual Basic. NET, such as variables, controls structures, and procedural programming
- Techniques for applying these principles as you develop ASP.NET pages
- The minimum amount of object-oriented programming necessary to work successfully and efficiently with ASP.NET
- Key differences between ASP.NET 1.0 and 1.1, how to use the examples in this book with either version, and how to move from 1.0 to 1.1
- Build ASP.NET sites faster using Microsoft's new, free WebMatrix tool
- Techniques for extending your ASP.NET sites to incorporate related tools and technologies, such as using ADO.NET for data source access
- Web Services for inter-Web site communication, and Server Controls for facilitating code maintenance and reuse
- How you can make your ASP.NET site production-ready through proper debugging, optimization, and security
Who is this book for? This book is for beginners who have no previous experience of ASP, VB, XML, object-oriented programming, or the .NET framework. A little knowledge of HTML is useful, but not essential. All the concepts you need to create dynamic ASP.NET Web sites are presented and explained in full.

June 12, 2006
But this specific book, have kept me trying for more that 14 months, even when I usually read books off this kind of subject (Web Development) in something between two weeks and two months.
I finally decide to dump it, since I can't spend more time. I just got another book for the subject. And I did it after convince myself of the fact that this book is so slow, redundant, and poor that it can kill my enthusiasm.
This book has probably 50 pages (if you filter from the 863 printed) of good information.
If your time is valuable for you, and you need or want to learn the technology, this book is not for you.
 Pretty cool book!,
September 08, 2005A Cautious "OK",
May 30, 2005 This book is very good at teaching the concepts, but there are many mistakes that will really keep you on your toes. You can work around them, to be sure, but just be forwarned. The mistakes are everything from spelling (not really a big deal) to code errors, like semicolons where they dont belong and malformed code. One exercise involves a database that is supposed to be included in the download (from their site) but is not. The "errata" page on Wrox's site suggests you do a Google search in order to find and download the database.
It is a good book for learning ASP.net as well as a good lesson that proofreading is important.Great Way to Come up to speed on VB.Net,
April 12, 2005 Not sure why some folks say the title is misleading, the book indeed is specifically geared towards the beginning ASP.NET/VB.NET developer. No where does it mention learnig VB Studio. In fact I have VB studio, but I downloaded the Web Matrix software (free from MS) and I find it very easy to use and a good development environment.
I found the book to be very accurate and moves along at a very good pace, not trying to overwhelm the reader with too much detail early on. If you like to learn by coding (getting your feet wet) then this is the book for you. I like this approach, because you sort of figure things out as you go along, and at some point you begin to see the "big picture".
The exaples are very well thought out, and appropriate for the concepts being discussed. This book has enough examples to make it a good refrence book.
Does NOT use VB.NET 2003,
June 24, 2004 I am amazed that Wrox (AKA Wiley Publishing) would title a book in such a deceptive manner.Purchased the book and first thing I did was read "What you need to use this book?" - it clearly states "You do not need Visual Studio.NET in order to use this book." Instead - they expect you to download something called a Web Matrix... Sure - it uses the .NET framework 1.1 but to me, and I am sure the vast majority of developers, if one sees "with VB.NET 2003" they are not expecting to be taught how to write code in Notepad... Wrox - You have disappointed me
