thanks to Jefferey Puts for his hard writing.How to build applications, not just pages using ASP.NET 2This book attempts to teach developers how to use ASP.NET *correctly* to build applications, rather than pages. The author excels in giving a lot of insights into new coding techniques, and even declarative programming that are new in ASP.NET 2.0. The book sometimes uses code samples from the author's free POP Forums application as a real-world case-study. He covers caching thoroughly with practical code examples that go well beyond the simple coverage you see in many books. There is no discussion of exception handling in a multi-tier web application, and I could not see any exception handling code in any of his examples. One of the best chapters in the book covers Test-Driven Development (TDD), using the freeware NUnit tool. On balance, this is an interesting book that would have great value in teaching new, but somewhat experienced, ASP.NET developers how to move up from coding simple applications to do things in a more Enterprise-friendly, scalable manner using many of the new features in ASP.NET 2.0.Easy to read and gives great overview.This book does not just lay out bunch of codes and make you memorize it. I highly recommend it.Intermediate level, uneven coverageThis books is a hodge-podge of topics around ASP.NET. There are lots of ASP.NET books out there.
