Data Access in the ASP.NET 2.0 Framework

Workbook Introduction

This workbook is divided into three sections. The first section contains a step-by-step companion to the video. Each of the modules in the video is written out into steps to make it easier to review the steps after you watch the video.

The second section of this workbook contains an introduction to SQL, the language of databases. If you are new to Microsoft SQL Server 2005, or entirely new to the SQL language, you should review this section of the workbook before viewing the video. The video assumes that you are familiar with the SQL language. If not, no worries—read the SQL introduction in the section later in the workbook.

Finally, the third section of this workbook contains an introduction to the ASP.NET 2.0 framework. Again, the video assumes that you are familiar with the basics of the ASP.NET framework. If you are completely new to the ASP.NET framework, you should definitely read this section of the workbook before watching the video.

This review is from: Data Access in the ASP.NET 2.0 Framework LiveLessons (Video Training) (Misc. Supplies)

Just a good video review for introducing the ASP.NET Data controls....i was expecting something more in depth specifications to use with your at least beginning skills so you can outgrow your level. Again everything of course always show you some info and as you know in programming you always discover things. Helped me in some ways but not gave me the complete examples i was hoping. Best for beginners with ASP.NET Data Access!
