5.0 out of 5 stars Must read for the seroius ASP.NET developer, November 21, 2004

This is one of the better books on ASP.NET. Unlike several other books, this does not spend a great deal of time rehashing stuff about the CLR. Although written by several authors, it is refreshingly well organized around four main areas - core concepts, data access, security, and advanced. Written for the advanced professional, this book covers the why and how of most essential topics, including HTTP handlers, session management, configuration, disconnected data, files and streams, data binding. The chapters on WSE, custom server controls, user controls, ADO.NET, XML, and SOAP can be used as reference, and are enough to get you using those concepts right away. This book includes a chapter on JavaScript, which is something other books are lacking.

This review is from: Pro ASP.NET 1.1 in C#: From Professional to Expert (Paperback)

This is not an average Joe's book. I found the chapters that are useful for me like Chapter 13 (Files and Streams) for content management, Chapter 14 (ASP.NET Security Infrastructure), Chapter 15 (Forms Authentication) for internet web applications, and Chapter 16 (Windows Authentication) for intranet web applications. The main focus of this book are data access, application security, and advanced resource management which are important for enterprise web-based applications developers. I have reconfigured my web application server after I read this book to secured the loophole. The book covered some of the JavaScript but did not mention in great detail of Microsoft VBScript which I think the authors can expand a little more on VBScript part (For old classic ASP developers). This is a good book to put on your bookshelf for reference from time to time!

I first got the book in a public library. I liked it so much, that I ordered it through Amazon, and it is my ASP.NET reference book ever since.
