5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Book,
By John Wilson (MI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: ASP.NET Professional Projects (Paperback)
I think this is the best book available on ASP.NET on the market.Unlike some of the other books that I have read this book is not a rehash of the .NET documentation. This book brings a lot of clarity to some of the stuff I had been struggling with. The writing style is very clear and crisp. Advanced topics are covered with excellent examples. Again unlike other books, the projects and samples presented are not "toy" samples but real code that you can use. I simply love the GenEditAdd custom control described in this book and I am already using this in my projects. Basically this custom control hooks onto the DataGrid and allows you to edit and insert rows into the grid. It automatically builds an input form by reading the SQL behind the DataGrid. It allows you to have drop-down columns (which is not possible with the DataGrid) and quite a few other features. The book is strong on web services and completely describes a Quicken like accounting application and an inventory application using web services. Visual studio is described in detail and again I like the authors approach of first describing and then looking at each detail under the magnifying glass.

Good Information but Code does not work.,

This review is from: ASP.NET Professional Projects (Paperback)
I found this book very informative and helpful at first. I was initially excited at the depth of the training and the real world examples. There was no "Hello World" type of stuff. Unfortunately when it came time to actually practice the training I discovered that the code presented in the book and the on line source, does not work. The syntax is not accurate and it brings into question other information presented in the book. I can only assume that this book and code was based on a very early Beta, and substantial changes were made by Microsoft before the current version of ASP.NET was put on the market.

Ok, but...,
By A Customer
This review is from: ASP.NET Professional Projects (Paperback)
The writing style is great and his projects are pretty well thought out. However, I have to downgrade my rating of this book because:1) Appears to be based on an early beta. 2) Most of his coding examples produce poorly structure html. To borrow a phrase from the xhtml/xml world, it is not "well formed." In other words, it doesn't follow accepted w3 standards. 3) His use of CSS is just flat out not right.
