 ASP.NET Bible June 28, 2003
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
This book is extremely frustrating for a beginner to work with, even though it claims to be suitable for a new comer to the ASP.NET world. It doesn't go into enough detail around Web Forms and is completely useless at connecting concepts with example code. It's just plain annoying becuase it half the time it provides incomplete examples and the companion web site is missing samples that are described in certain chapters. On a positive note, the introduction to overall .NET concepts is fair but you can get this anywhere on the Internet. More important than wasting Money is wasting time and this book wasted mine.
Don't buy this book! October 14, 2002

I bought this book in a UK bookstore. I wish I hadn't! I wanted a book that would cover C# and ASP.net. I went for this one because it covered C# as well as VB, and because there appeared to be a lot of content. Unfortunately when I got it home I found I'd wasted my money. 1. The ASP.net web site development stuff is over by about page 300. The rest is devoted to web services.
2. This book covers far too much stuff in too little detail
3. Despite the high page count, there is very little actual content. Big print, lots of repetitive code examples, make for poor reading.
4. It's poor for C# as most of the examples are in VB. Apart from the after-thought appendix at the back, there's nothing useful for someone wanting to learn C#. Do not buy this book!!!!

After looking through this book's table of contents at the bookstore, I thought I had found a keeper. Halfway through the book, I am bored to death. It covers a broad range of topics but provides only shallow coverage on each. I've come to the conclusion that it would be a waste of my time to finish this book.
There are better books out there May 1, 2002

I recently bought this book, and let me be honest it was a waist of money. The language in the book is very similar to the material you get in a crash course. Author does very little to explain a particular topic, and goes by just mentioning it.
I was particulary annoyed by the treatment of web controls, there isn't much than the documentation you get with VS.NET.
You are much better of reading tutorials on the web sites than buying this book.
I will try to return it to the book store and go for professional ASP.NET by wrox. I wanted to give this book just one star, but I am in a good mood.
