Pro ASP.NET 2.0 Website Programming Review by Osamah Alabdullah

Nothing professional about this book

This book is, by no means, Professional ASP.NET 2.0 Programming. First, it is all VB.NET (Not the choice of professionals). Ok, the book does not cover the typical topics you find in a beginner's asp.net book, but the topics it covers are merely new features in asp.net 2.0 discussed in a very superficial way.

The only chapter I found to be worth while reading is the one on Web Parts. Some level of detail there, but do not expect much. This book should be re-named to, "New Features in ASP.NET 2.0 - A beginners approach to programming".

If you are looking for a professional programming book, this is not a great buy. If you are looking to get your way around asp.net 2.0 without all the typical beginner's stuff, then this book is for you (if you do not mind VB.NET).

2 stars off for the bad title and 1 star off for VB.Net
