2.0 out of 5 stars There are better books out there, May 1, 2002

By	D. Kapoor (Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I recently bought this book, and let me be honest it was a waist of money. The language in the book is very similar to the material you get in a crash course. Author does very little to explain a particular topic, and goes by just mentioning it.
I was particulary annoyed by the treatment of web controls, there isn't much than the documentation you get with VS.NET.
You are much better of reading tutorials on the web sites than buying this book.
I will try to return it to the book store and go for professional ASP.NET by wrox. I wanted to give this book just one star, but I am in a good mood.

2.0 out of 5 stars Shallow, July 29, 2002

By	Sean Winstead (Colorado Springs, CO United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

After looking through this book's table of contents at the bookstore, I thought I had found a keeper. Halfway through the book, I am bored to death. It covers a broad range of topics but provides only shallow coverage on each. I've come to the conclusion that it would be a waste of my time to finish this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars ASP.NET Bible, June 27, 2003

By	Kevin Moss (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews

This book is extremely frustrating for a beginner to work with, even though it claims to be suitable for a new comer to the ASP.NET world. It doesn't go into enough detail around Web Forms and is completely useless at connecting concepts with example code. It's just plain annoying becuase it half the time it provides incomplete examples and the companion web site is missing samples that are described in certain chapters. On a positive note, the introduction to overall .NET concepts is fair but you can get this anywhere on the Internet. More important than wasting Money is wasting time and this book wasted mine.
