Beginning ASP.NET 1.1 with Visual C# .NET 2003 Review by G. Dias
Great Book - you will learn to create real world websites!
I needed to learn ASP.NET for a new project. I know HTML, VB6 and SQL but had no previous experience with ASP or other internet stuff. I was initially going to buy a similar book from O'Reilly but I like this one way much better even though it has some mistakes, typpos and pictures in the wrong places here and there. Wrox will probably fix it all in a second edition. In the mean time they could fire the people who did the revision. Things that other readers mentioned as a CON, I find a PRO in this book. Example: using WebMatrix instead of Visual Studio. WebMatrix is not as powerfull as VS but it is free and at the same time provides you with an Internet Server, so you can get started right away and don't need to spend extra money with VS. The book teaches you what to download and install and takes you step by step in building a complete website with most of the features you will find around an average+ web site. Also gives some brushes about XML, OOP, CSS and Databases among other stuff. It's a long book 800 pages, but with about 40 to 60 a day, with little more than 2 weeks you will be done with it. I couldn't believe I would go through all of it and I am already in page 500!! It doesn't have any cute pictures or icons or little jokes in it, but it will teach you step by step without telling you to click OK in every dialog. GREAT BOOK! Good luck to you!
