Customer Review: Great Book for Beginner
I have never built a web form. Using this book, I built a simple site that includes a contact form and a registration form. I happened to find
JimCo books and tutorials on this website [...]. The tutorials in conjuntion with the book, solved my problem. I am not a web developer, but I am cheap and these tools were the best I could find anywhere on the web.
Customer Review: The first ASP.NET 3.5 book to market and it shows.
I have been doing ASP.NET for a few years now and still find introductory books helpful…this book was the exception. I found the chapters that are suppose to cover a facet of ASP.NET lacked much meat at all. Many of the chapters were under 10 pages and I found that instead of offering anything concrete the author went overboard with the external links to articles, help pages, or other books!
In the books defense it will give you a limited working knowledge in topics like the ASP.NET provider model introduced in ASP.NET 2.0, as well as data enabling your web app. However this still isn’t enough for me to rate it any higher. The book may be sufficent for someone with a very limited knowledge in ASP.NET however you’ll find there is no depth in this book and after you are done you probably will need to continue searching for more. Leave this book alone.
