4.0 out of 5 stars Great architectural help guide, but, November 29, 2003

This review is from: Microsoft ASP.NET Coding Strategies with the Microsoft ASP.NET Team (Pro-Developer) (Paperback)
With ASP.NET 2.0 right around the corner, there's a new book out that will give a needed edge to your arsenal of tools with which to draw from for ASP.NET 1.x. While many in the ASP.NET community will be sticking with the first version of Microsoft's web development platform for some time to come, "Microsoft ASP.NET Coding Strategies with the Microsoft ASP.NET Team" provides a deep, insightful view of architecting, configuring, managing and extending next-gen web applications with ASP.NET.

Still, there are several code examples, albeit in the guise of snippets and clips. Many of those used are cited as being taken straight from the many free ASP.NET projects, like the ASP.NET Forums application, the ASP.NET application blocks and many of the utilities currently used on www.asp.net.

My biggest - and only - criticism of this title is, ironically, its title. Despite what the heading implies, it's not one of those books with hundreds of free scripts that you can plug into your site. It's not a gallery of free code you can rip-and-insert into your site like was available in so many ASP 3.0 books. Rather, it provides a fresh, welcome discussion on the inner-workings and processes of ASP.NET behind-the-scenes. And for that, it's very valuable.

I find it to be a great resource for experienced ASP.NET developers as an architectural guide, more than a code reference, which the title would lead one to believe (at least that's the first impression I got when I bought the book).

The book's high points are Rob Howard's outstanding comprehensive discussion of caching (which is one of the better dialogues available in print), as well as talks about working in the HTTP pipeline, developing custom HTTP handlers, and developing custom server controls.

It also seems that most of the chapters are taken straight from, or based upon, content that already exists on MSDN. While this seems to be a point of contention for many developers, I find that it's nice to have these helpful articles aggregated in a single bound collection.

At any rate, it's a good read, and will augment your knowledge of ASP.NET, what it does, how it does it, and how you can get it to work in your web apps.

4.0 out of 5 stars excellent, but not enough details, November 19, 2003

This review is from: Microsoft ASP.NET Coding Strategies with the Microsoft ASP.NET Team (Pro-Developer) (Paperback)
I bought "Microsoft ASP.NET Coding Strategies with the Microsoft ASP.NET Team" because I thought I could get some tips and tricks directly from the team who developed ASP.NET. Yes, the book provides useful information. However, it's not enough details nor supported by example. Maybe it is sufficient for them and their team, but not for regular users.
If you want to learn ASP.NET, I highly recommend "ASP.NET Unleashed" by Stephen Walther. Stephen's book is a kind of complement of Matthew and Rob's book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Example of a good horrible book!!!!, March 23, 2006
This review is from: Microsoft ASP.NET Coding Strategies with the Microsoft ASP.NET Team (Pro-Developer) (Paperback)
Lot of good theories, i wouldn't casll it a book of "strategies" though, the BIGGEST turn off is the sample-code, it only ships with .aspx page, no code-behind!!!!!!!!!!! It's all in-line coding (tradition ASP style) and you can not debug anything since there is no solution!!!! If you let IDE handle code-behind, it doesn't behave as expected :( I can not tell you HOW FRUSTRATING it is not to be able to "run" the code, all you can do is make a virtual directory, point it to the folder where you downloaded examples and then "look" the code by entering urls manually!!!! That is it!! It's REALLY annoying and i could've given negative rating but 1 was the lowest so....

anyways, i would not buy anything like this, i got this for free from microsoft seminar (No wonder it's free!! ;-) lolz)

Save your time and money for something better :)
