From the Back Cover
Sharpen your ASP.NET 3.5 skills as you develop a real-world website
The ASP.NET 2.0 version of this book was the first to introduce experienced ASP.NET 2.0 programmers to building a web application with a layered approach. Now updated for ASP.NET 3.5 and the Entity Framework, this unique book takes good website design beyond page-by-page coding by emphasizing n-tier ASP.NET web application architectural design. Each chapter addresses a problem or business need and then discusses the necessary pieces of the puzzle you'll use to solve that problem. In addition, a professional-level website framework is at the ready, from which you can build real websites, extend the code, and implement specific ASP.NET code.
- Explains how to implement core features, including master pages, themes, membership, profiles, and personalization
- Demonstrates ways to best use ASP.NET AJAX, the Entity Framework, and Visual Studio code
- Shares techniques for compilation, deployment, instrumentation, error handling, and logging
- Uncovers tips for separating a site's UI and presentation layer from the pluggable data access layer and business logic layer
- Features helpful examples and hands-on code, as well as resourceful ways to handle common problems
- Features code examples in the book using Visual Basic and a complete sample application download available in both C# and Visual Basic

Because I was familiar with the earlier version of the Beer House project I thought I would take a chance and purchase this book before it had been reviewed. That was a big mistake! Even though the author does a good job of explaining concepts and his design criteria, you can't build the project from the book alone. Because project details such as what goes where and layout are very vague I found myself getting lost frequently. Anyone trying to follow along and build the project will quickly become frustrated. If you do purchase this book you MUST download the project code if you want to have any hope of building the project.

I am really tired of spending good money on books whose accompanying, downloadable code does not work. Why put it up at all???
If the code can't back up the ideas set out in the pages, they're not much good to me.
So, if you insist on a well-written, functioning application which you can run, and from which you can learn, this book is probably not for you.

I am also familiar with the previous edition and this TBH project. The first few chapters of this book are great. The author explains carefully the concepts of the new Entity Framework, LINQ and AJAX very clearly in chapter 3. He also compares his new approach with the previous approach done by Marco Bellinaso, and states that his new approach is a better approach than the previous one (e.g., in page 108 he said "...(the previous technique) is often not done in high-demand production sites and reduces an n-tier architecture to a flat model ...".
Chapter 4 is also good and he introduced AJAX to improve the previous version.
A lot of mistakes & errors start to appear afterward. Chapter 8 (Forums) is deplorable as 80% of the content in this chapter is a direct copy of the previous edition. Even the class diagram in p.402 is totally wrong, with all the functions like "GetForumFromForumDetails()", which only appears in the previous edition. And the methods in p.405 (strangely in C# instead of vb), GetThreads(), is an exact copy of the previous one, which uses SqlConnection instead of leveraging the entity framework.
I tried to download the C# project code for this book from Wrox's website, and it is not completed yet, and even with a lot of VB code in it (e.g., Forum.cs)!!!, and it won't compile.
I hope the author will update this great book and the project code in C# very soon. I also hope that Marco Bellinaso will take over and do it again for asp.net 4.0.
For those who are familiar with the previous edition by Marco Bellinaso, this is a very good book to learn about the new Entity Framework and other things. But if you haven't read the previous version, you will find it very hard to build the project by just following this book.
