Description
This is not your grandfather's ASP.NET 2.0 tutorial. It is not condescending, pretentious, stodgy, or deadly boring; rather, it is fresh, fun, even exciting; and, it does not take itelf too seriously. The topics flow logically from one to the next. The layout is approachable. The writers' tone is friendly. And, the writing style makes the material very accessible. I have yet to find a better book for Web development novices. And, it will have them up and running their own ASP.NET Web sites backed by SQL Server databases on their own IIS servers in short order.
The book is aimed squarely at beginnners—those with only the merest acquaintance with ASP.NET and Visual C# .NET or Visual Basic .NET.
Normally, I have zero interest in Visual Basic .NET; but, this book presents the source code in both C# and VB in a way which I find not only palatable but educational. The reader can easily compare and contrast the languages to find the language which suits them best. There is a chapter covering both C# and VB basics for the uninitiated.
The book uses all free software: Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition, SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, and Internet Information Services (IIS). It even shows the reader how to perform a basic installation of the necessary software. But, beware: Many more things could go awry with the installation than the book could reasonably cover. If something should go wrong, do not hesitate to seek help on the Web immediately.
This book is a great introduction to ASP.NET Web site development for beginners; but, it would not be the best introduction for commercial development. For one thing, it uses Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition instead of Visual Studio .NET. And, commerical sites will have issues—e.g. security—which are not adequately addressed
