5.0 out of 5 stars Invaluable ASP.NET resource, December 11, 2001

By 

JCD "dmcguirt" (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Instant ASP.NET Applications(with CD) (Paperback)

This is the fourth "Instant ASP" book (others being Instant ASP Scripts, ASP Components and the ASP Developers Guide) that I have purchased by the author Greg Buczek. I find that each book is invaluable in my application development and as a reference source. If you want to get into the nuts and bolts of how ASP.NET works, then buy a WROX book. If you want instant code to build your ASP.NET applications quickly, this is the book.

It gives plenty of examples and sample code that works. As a lot of the code is repetitive (e.g. making the connection to a data source, using the data grid, or the calendar control, etc.), it really drives home the concepts and helps in understand how ASP.NET works. I am sure that Greg may not like me telling this but he actually responses to emailed questions sent to him about his code. I have built many full blown application using sample code in Greg's "Instant" books. Now I can build them using ASP.NET.

5.0 out of 5 stars Got me going very fast!, November 26, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Instant ASP.NET Applications(with CD) (Paperback)

I had an ASP.NET application that I needed to get going quick. I knew a little about ASP but nothing about ASP.NET. This book, through its numerous examples showed me how to create excellent ASP.NET applications.

The author shows you how to use ASP.NET through sample applications that really work! His coverage on the vast ASP.NET controls and database connectivity was outstanding.

Thank you Mr. Buczek!

4.0 out of 5 stars Too Easy Applications, June 28, 2002

By 

Manuel Dennis III (Metairie, LA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Instant ASP.NET Applications(with CD) (Paperback)

This book comes with dozens of useful, not trivial applications for ASP.NET web applications. I enjoyed the book and each example made me sit down and learn more about ASP.NET. The entire book is well organized and keeps you hungry for the next example. The source practically ran right off the CD. I did have a little trouble with one or two examples, but there were dozens that required me to simply create the database table. I definately recommend this book to ASP.NET Developers.
