Product Description

Up-to-speed with ASP.NET? This book gives you a topic and the 5 to 24 "recipes" you need to get the common or not-so-common task done using ASP.NET. ASP.NET Developer's Cookbook will use VB.NET exclusively but will include both VB and C# examples on the supporting Web site (in both working and downloadable forms). Each recipe has what you need a brief descriptive name, followed by a description of the task, followed by the technique itself, and finally a "comments" section where the technique is discussed.

A decent book to get you started on ASP.NET, November 11, 2005
As a .NET middletier developer who has never ventured much into ASP.NET GUI development, I found this book to be pretty informative to get started on 'How-to' do many things...all compiled into one single place. e.g. to get a page up and running with a bunch of useful controls on it instead of wading through pages and pages of documentation or descriptions given in other books.

I sat and compared the OReilly cook book which was also good but half of that book is filled with lots of unrelated code (both VB and C#) which is distracting when u want to focus on something specific. And to me having a book that explains simple things too much in detail makes it boring!.

This book is not for advanced programmers who write jazzy sites nor for people who dont know how to spell aspx but should be helpful for all others in-between as a recipe book of how to do something...quick.

And that really helps when preparing for interviews!

Not worth the money., March 30, 2005
This book has many many examples. However, they are not documented very well. Most all of them are useless also. I'd pay $5 to $10 MAX! Save your money and buy a good book from the Microsoft Press.

Book for the novices, January 08, 2005
This book is definately for the novice crowd. I was expecting some more advanced concepts or examples, but found very basic info. I didn't learn a single new thing about .NET by using this book, and especially when you compare it to other books.

The book really just goes into some basic examples in each chapter followed by some code to go with it, but there are no real tips or tricks of value. Everything in here is a rehash of what's on MSDN, the web or in other books.

Incomplete - really, September 21, 2004
I liked the book for the format but my copy is missing many pages! It jumps from page 190 directly to page 239! No they were not taken out of the book, the book binding is perfect - no tears, no rips - just missing! I'm returning it and looking elsewhere.

For beginners only!, August 16, 2004
If you've been seriously programming for a while in ASP.NET, don't waste your time with this book. Having spent a lot of time searching and reading on msdn.microsoft.com and other sites to enhance my skill set, I bought this book thinking I would find some advanced concepts that I haven't already picked up on my own. There are no advanced concepts, just a bunch of very simple examples, some of which do not even work. I was very disappointed with this book and sent it back the same day it arrived.
