Book Deserves More Credit
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I have to disagree with other reviewers who said that this book should not be called a step by step book. Although I admit that the style is a bit dry, once you get into the programming examples in Part IV, the step by step format this author uses is perfect for someone like me, with some programming background in VB.Net, but without web programming experience, who is trying to learn ASP.NET. Not only that, but there is adequate explanation of concepts instead of just telling you what steps to follow. I would have liked to have seen more examples using Visual Studio .Net as well as Notepad, but the author gave enough instructions that I was able to follow the examples in Notepad and repeat them again in Visual Studio to see how it's done using the code-behind technique. Another thing I liked about the book is that all the examples I tried actually worked, unlike some other books out there purporting to teach ASP.Net. The dry chapters in Parts II and III are also necessary to include as a reference. I am under a tight deadline at work to learn how to create web pages and I am finding this book to be one of the best for getting me up and running.
Very Well Done

This book is very well written,easy to understand and packed full of explanation. The security chapters are worth the price of the book because most ASP books dont really mention it. The reference in chapter 7 of all the different ways to set up you .NET application for different accesability is also very well done..I really like the explanations given then the code shown..If you wanna learn ASP.NET I'd start with this book
Good overview
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This book may be the best 500 page overview of all the technologies that you need to understand to build ASP.Net applications. Because of it's breadth, it doesn't make it very deep into any one topic. However, it's an excellent book if you want to start learning about all the areas that make up ASP.Net web applications. My recommendation would be to read this book first, then read other books based on where you think your knowledge gaps are.Very well written and easy to understand.
good book for beginners..
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
ASP.NET is released and lots of book out there, promising to teach you this new technology. I personally chose MSDN series for .net framework. As they are the closest to this technology. ASP.net step by step is a really good book for beginners. Unlike some books out there it doesnt jump into bunch of code from the first couple of pages. The book is focused on teaching the fundamentals of ASP.net, there are quite good hints in the book that I found very useful. There are some downsides though.If you have worked with ASP.net before (in beta days) and developed some small to medium applications with that, you will find the book very easy and I dont believe that it will be very useful for your needs. The other thing is the content and the chapters are very similiar to ASP.net quickstart tutorials that comes with .net framework.If you havent used asp.net before and you dont like to read tutorials from the computer screen, I say go for it, it s very good resource. Otherwise get a more advanced book that is covering more in depth.
ASP.NET Starts Here!

G. Andrew Duthie has an excellent command of ASP.NET, as he demonstrates chapter after chapter. Ya gotta love a book with this much sample code! Anyone seeking to learn this hot, new technology would be choosing wisely in selecting this book. He also provides a helpful appendix on migrating existing Web applications from ASP to ASP.NET. Also, there's a Quick Reference at the end of each chapter that really pays dividends when you start coding. By not jumping the gun and publishing a book long before ASP.NET was finalized, he also has one of the more accurate books on the market. He's also very active and helpful on the aspFriends.com lists (another excellent resource!).
