3.0 out of 5 stars Should have been called Programming Microsoft ASP.NET, July 3, 2002
This review is from: Programming Microsoft® .NET (Core reference) (Hardcover)
The primary focus of the book (500+ pages) is on using .NET with ASP. Since I bought the book figuring that the book would be more focused on the FCL (Framework Class Library), the majority of the book is not useful to me.

The 180 pages dedicated to using the FCL and CRL (Common Runtime Library) with C# were very good, but could have used some additional material. Specifically, sample programs using more than just the edit, list, and button controls would have been good. In addition, detailed samples using streams would have also been good.

The final 100+ pages is a whirlwind tour of other aspects of .NET including ADO.NET (databases), threading, and remoting. The chapters do not have as much depth as the other chapters and give you just enough information to be dangerous. Again, additional depth would have been good.

If you want to use .NET from ASP with a little C#, this is THE book for you. If you want to use .NET from C#, this probably isn't the book for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Made me see .NET clearly, June 2, 2002
By 
"sage_007" (Seattle, Washington) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Programming Microsoft® .NET (Core reference) (Hardcover)
I've bought several .NET programming books since the first WROX edition of the WROX PROFESSIONAL ASP.NET book came out,
so I wasn't sure I needed a book that was a survey (FCL, Winforms, web forms, web controls, ADO.NET, multithreading, Remoting, Security, XML Web Services, et al.), but I took a leap based on the author's previous books. Mr. Prosise has crafted such an amazing book that I now feel like I see the big picture of programming .NET for the first time. This book covers a lot of ground in 800 pages, and while there are things that he could have covered more deeply, in the end I didn't care a lick because he tied all pieces together perfectly so that it wasn't a mess anymore--a MAJOR achievement. I wish more computer book authors wrote half so beautifully. A great book!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Accurate, but Too Broad, February 12, 2004
This review is from: Programming Microsoft® .NET (Core reference) (Hardcover)
Jeff Prosise has been around the Microsoft world for a long time. If you've been around awhile, you might recognize him as the author of Programming Windows with MFC or from several of his other books. This book, as expected, is very well-written and a technically accurate book. Unfortunately, it only musters a rating of three stars because it tries to cover too much. If you want a broad overview of .NET, then this is an excellent book for you. My problem with the book is that its first three chapters on .NET fundamentals don't cover the basics as deeply as I think developers should know them. The single chapter on Windows Forms that follows next is, frankly, completely useless. The next seven chapters (Part 2 of the book) do a very decent job of covering ASP.NET. If anything, this is a badly named book. It should be called Programming Microsoft ASP.NET. Part 2 is followed by a single chapter on ADO.NET. I recommend Mike Gunderloy's book for ADO.NET. Next are single chapters on XML, multithreading, and remoting. All in all, it's a good overview and a decent ASP.NET book (you'll still need another book or two on the topic).
