2.0 out of 5 stars Sams Teach Yourself ASP.NET 3.5 in 24 Hours, October 21, 2008

By	John K (Florida) - See all my reviews

Be carefull when you buy this book. You do not learn that the source code used in this book is only Visual Basic. No Visual C# is provided. You find this out after you purchase the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Laymen - Enjoy!, April 29, 2009

By	Cort Johnson "Cort Johnson" (San Diego, Ca USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am a laymen developer just scratching to get my own website up to snuff with Asp.net and deliver a more dynamic product. Computer programming is decidedly NOT my field and that's precisely why I enjoyed Scott's book. I have feeling it's geared just for people like me; it's clearly written and nicely organized, has plenty of information and it takes things at a good steady pace.

There are several good books on asp.net - Imar Spaanjaars book is excellent and I gave it five stars - but Imar throws alot at you. Scott works you through the material more slowly and I really need that at times. Basically I'm using both books - Imar for some more advanced material (nothing in Scott's book on Linq) - and Scott's to really ground myself in the material. I think they're an excellent combo.

5.0 out of 5 stars You'll learn ASP.Net, April 15, 2009

By	Mr. Ralph Brescia "rbrescia3" (Newtown Square , Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As an experienced VB.net programmer I hadn't written anything in ASP.Net. I found this book to be as good taking a class on the subject. The book contains everything one needs to complete the lessons. It includes a DVD with all the software you'll need to do the practice programs and exercises. The book is broken down into 24 chapters, the author calls hours. Accomplishing everything in a chapter in one hour is a little optimistic. If you do all the tutorials and exercises, you'll spend more than an hour per chapter. If you new to programming, I suggest you spend some time learning VB.net first, then move to this book. The book is great if you have had some programming experience. Just follow the examples, do the exercises and by the end of the book you'll be able to create web pages using ASP.net. I like these kinds of books that take you by the hand and teach with examples and explanations.
