This review is from: ASP to ASP.NET Migration Handbook: Concepts and Strategies for Successful Migration (Paperback)

This book can help many people new to asp > .net migration get into the swing of things. There are several parts of the book that take you through the logic of replacing old asp constructs to .net ones.

Good example is a section of the book dedicated to explaining that old <%if... response.write stuff should be replaced with labels... the use of repeaters instead of manually building tables up in loops.

I was tasked with an asp > asp.net migration job a few years ago & this book helped out a bit to learn what I was supposed to be doing different since both languages support a lot of the old crappy constructs from classic asp like render tags...
