Product Description Are you trying to decide which ASP.NET 2.0 book to buy? As its title implies, this book teaches you how to develop web applications using ASP.NET 2.0. That means it teaches all the features that are new in ASP.NET 2.0, including master pages, database access using both SQL and object data sources, the new code-behind model, site navigation features, authentication using the Web Site Administration tool and login controls, profiles, themes, and web parts.
But that’s just the beginning! Here are just a few of the features that set this book apart from other ASP.NET 2.0 books: #1: It gives you a 5-chapter section on database programming
This is an area that’s changed dramatically from ASP.NET 1.x. So this section teaches you how to use SQL data sources and the GridView, DetailsView, and FormView controls… all new in ASP.NET 2.0 …to develop database applications with little or no C# code. Then, it teaches how to use object data sources, also new in ASP.NET 2.0, to create 3-layer applications that let you separate the presentation code from the data access code in an application. #2: It teaches you ASP.NET 2.0 development the way it should be done, using Visual Studio 2005
Today, no developer should miss out on the productivity features of Visual Studio 2005 by using limited tools like Notepad. So section 1 in this book teaches you how to use Visual Studio 2005 to design, code, and test multi-page web applications that get database data and manage session state. Then, later chapters cover time-saving VS tools like the Query Builder and the Web Site Administration Tool. #3: Complete applications show you how all the pieces interact
The key to mastering ASP.NET 2.0 is to have plenty of real-world applications that guide you in using the new features you’re learning…and that help you avoid the problems that you can run into as you build complex web sites. That’s why this book gives you complete applications, including the web forms, the aspx code, and the C# code. So if you need to learn ASP.NET 2.0, we hope you'll try this book first. We're convinced that it will deliver the training you need in record time.

They are organized and presented in such a way that the reader can learn very fast and acquire a very complete knowledge about C# and ASP.NET.
These books go directly to the point, in a practical way, presenting examples that can be applied to real programs. The way they are organized makes them useful for learning and for reference. Start Here....,

I have read some other harsh reviews. In all fairness, this book is geared toward someone new to web application development. Murach tries to encompass what would take about 4 books and much development time if one were to become an expert in web application development.
If you are interested in learning the basics of web app development, this is good place to start. If you are more experienced at programming, then there are many things you can take away from this book(especially from the later chapters).
A very, very good book with clear examples and excellent real-world tutorials ...,
September 09, 2007 As a self-taught developer, I rely on programming texts to not only provide the syntax and rules of a language, but also to provide real-world examples and problems that reinforce the material. Because the move from the living room desktop to a professional cubicle is daunting, practical tutorials are an absolute necessity. And the Murach team's offerings never disappoint.
Murach's C# 2005 and ASP.NET 2.0 Web Programming With C# are a two volume set that will take a disciplined beginner from "Hello World" to professional junior-level projects. The C# 2005 title takes you in a logical, orderly manner thru practically every aspect of the language, with accompanying tutorials (as already mentioned) to help the information 'stick'. Then the ASP.NET 2.0 with C# text shows you how to put all that newly-acquired C# knowledge to work on the web. All the basics of the IDE, all the new .NET tools, and ASP.NET using C# are covered. The two books together are still a tad light on detailed subjects like Web Services, network programming, etc., but there are plenty of more narrowly focused books out there to fill in those gaps.
If you work thru the examples, and if you work the end-of-chapter problems, and if you really strive to understand how and why things are done a certain way, this pair of Murach manuals along with their SQL Server 2005 for Developers - and a good bit of HTML/CSS knowledge - will put you well on your way to that first Web Development job.
ASP,NET 2.0 explained in a way that is understandable.,
September 06, 2007 I had recently checked this book out of the corporate Library where I work. There are about 60 copies avaiable for checkout, and I was #37 on the waiting list. I had to keep checking it out in order to keep reading it. This bacame an inefficient way to read the book so I purchased my own copy, and I am glad I did.
This book is a fantastic learning tool as well as an excellent referrence book. I am currently taking an ASP.NET class and I have found that the book is actually in parallel with the class, making the class more effective.
I would recommend this book to anyone trying to learn ASP.NET Web Programming with C# 2005. I also recommend the Murach book "C# 2005" as a companion book. And along with those two, their Murach's SQL Server 2005 for Developers is also a great companion book since most ASP.NET web application are data driven one way or another. With these three books you will be on the fast track to becoming a solid web developer in no time.
This book is great for the novice as well as the seasoned professional. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to learn ASP.NET 2.0Great book!,
July 17, 2007 This is a great book that'll help you hit the ground running. Sort of falls short on really specific things when it comes to writing code for maintaining a database. Gives the reader a quick overview of the key parts of the language, but not much else.
It helps to have a few years experience of Visual Studio under the belt. I don't think I'd recommend this for beginners. It mainly deals with 4 languages at once. Html, ASP, C# and SQL. I've had experience with SQL, HTML, and C# previously. And PHP which is almost the same as ASP.
Perfect for refreshing after you know about the language/programming style already. Excellent reference book, with code examples and explanation of the code side by side.
