He’s also written a series of books about programming on and off the Web with .NET, teaches programming at Ryerson University, and is a three-time Microsoft MVP.

    In everyday life, Matthew is endlessly amazed by the odd, unusual, and just plain bonkers workings of the natural world.

Both books include a mash-up of full-color pictures, trivia, and philosophical head-scratchers. Matthew lives in Toronto, with his wife and two daughters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best ASP.NET book I've read!
Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2006
Verified Purchase
The books I read on ASP.NET 1.0/1.1 seemed like the authors knew just a bit more than I did from playing around with Visual Studio and going to a couple Microsoft conferences. There were so many holes in those books that I found myself figuring out any solution beyond the basics on my own. Now the books are becoming very useful because you can tell the authors are seasoned in Asp.net and have a lot more knowledge on the subject. This book has, so far, answered every question I have had about Asp.net 2.0 and even ones I didn't know I had! I haven't even finished it yet, and it has been more than worth its weight in gold from what I've learned in the 7 chapters I've read so far. Great job!!

4.0 out of 5 stars The First Pure ASP.NET 2.0 Title
Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2005
Verified Purchase
This is problably the first 2.0-specific book to hit store shelves. I'm currently building with Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2. AFAIK this build has the final major changes. The book seems to be written for the final VS release. In ohter words, I have not found any outdated examples yet in my reading.

I got this book last week and I'm very pleased with it. I jumped ahead straight to the Membership and Profile sections. There are *several* chapters on this! I'm very impressed so far with their teaching abilities and I appreciate the fact that they give full examples. First the authors cover how to use ASP.NET 2.0's shrinkwrapped solution. Then they give detailed information on how to implement your own custom providers for Memebership and Roles. This is fantastic because at the time of this review, I had not found any complete examples on how to do this.

So far this book hs a great reference and help to me. It's over 1,000 pages but nothing of what I've seen appears to be "fluff". Nice job! I would definitely recommend this ASP.NET/C# programmers. I think beginners can follow it and advanced users will like the solid 2.0 coverage.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent samples

This ASP.NET tomb covers just about everything in the 2.0 release, and covers it well and in depth. The thing that I really like about it is that the examples and sample code are very targeted to things that you'd really want to do with a dynamic web site. For example, it gives you good suggestions and useful code for setting up a data access layer to talk to your database. It does have "Pro" in the title and indeed it is mainly targeted for experienced developers. There is a CD included that sounds good, but I haven't gotten to it yet...

2.0 out of 5 stars Code snippets; nothing works or explained; obsolete as of 2007
Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2007
Verified Purchase
This books is obsolete as of today (2007). It consists of code snips in C#, but no complete examples. Like another reviewer wrote, nothing works after the first "hello world" sample. If you already know ASP.NET, I suppose this book is somewhat useful, but the book is verbose; why spend a whole chapter (Chap. 2) on Visual Studio 2005? If the purpose of the book was a "how to", showing step by step how to build an ASP.NET project, then I could understand this inclusion, but the book is not a "how to" (other than a trivial example, I didn't find a single complete "how to" in the entire 1300 page book).

Avoid like the plague--a complete waste of money and paper.

UPDATE: not as bad as I thought, once I read it.

Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2006

This is really a good book. The topics covered are intended for the serious developer and the code and examples are excellent. I found the chapters on the data controls and data binding most helpful, there is also a chapter on XML that is really good.

You also get a .PDF addition of the book. If you have two monitors on your system you can bring up the sample code in one and cut and paste into your project.

The book was a little expensive but well worth it. I would purchase it again.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Book
Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2006

Like any book that includes the word "Pro" in it, you expect the book to cover most topics of ASP.NET 2.0. This book does that. I found the Cryptography and Deployment section which explained the differences between IIS 5.1 and IIS 6.0 very helpful.

However, I not only like reading the concepts, but writing the code to see it work. It was difficult to take that approach with this book. The connection between the concepts and the presentation of the code examples were often scattered. I found this frustrating.

5.0 out of 5 stars ASP.NET 2.0 umfassend
Reviewed in Germany on January 19, 2006
Verified Purchase
Dieses Buch beschreibt sämtliche Aspekte von ASP.NET 2.0 und beschränkt sich nicht wie viele andere 2.0-Bücher nur auf die Neuerungen. Diese sind aber immer deutlich hervorgehoben. Die vielen Code Beispiele sind kurz und klar. Grafiken, Tabellen und einige wenige Screenshots lockern das Ganze auf. Trotz des Umfangs von 1255 Seiten eignet es sich wohl eher für erfahrene ASP.NET Entwickler, da es geballte Ladungen von Informationen enthält. Z.B. sind für alle Server Controls inkl. Validators weniger als 50 Seiten reserviert. Das Buch enthält die 6 Bereiche Core Concepts, Data Access, Building ASP.NET Web Sites, Security, Advanced UI und Web Services und insgesamt 34 Kapitel. Das Buch basiert auf einer späten Beta 2 Version, Code Beispiele der Final Version sind im Web erhältlich.
