3.0 out of 5 stars Great Book but Beware!!!, February 20, 2007

This is a very good book but It is not a tutorial. It assumes a certain level of ASP.Net 2.0 understanding. The applications are completed for you and it is up to you to aquire the knowledge to fill in the blanks. I would recommend it to intermediate developers or novice developers who are willing to dig for the answers.

This review is from: ASP.NET 2.0 Everyday Apps For Dummies (For Dummies (Computers)) (Paperback)

I liked this book. The code in there is in VB.NET but I am a C# person and still it is a OK read. As others said, it assumes some level of understanding of programming.

This review is from: ASP.NET 2.0 Everyday Apps For Dummies (For Dummies (Computers)) (Paperback)

This is NOT a dummies book, in any sense of the word. This book assumes that you have a well-grounded knowledge of programming to begin with and it takes you into the world of asp.net programming from that perspective. While I found that the subject matter was easy to follow, for the most part, some of the issues that I ran into were so frustrating to me that I find myself wanting to put this book in the trash and sign up for a college course. At least there, when you run into a situation that the teacher wants you to learn, you have the teacher there to explain WHAT he is trying to teach you.
