C# Web Development for ASP.NET Review by R. Reddy
Is this book a bit outdated already !
It is amazing how short the shelf life for some of these software titles is. There are a couple of new freebies from Microsoft that makes learning C# & ASP.net web development a whole lot simpler.
1. Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition:
This is a free download from Microsoft. So your choices are no longer limited to either buying the full blown commercial version or use notepad as editor and compile on the command line (as the author describes early in his book).
2. IIS is no longer essential:
ASP.net development server is included in the express edition download. With this server, you will no longer need to install IIS. So you can do development even on XP home edition. While you will not be able to use this as a deployment solution, it nevertheless works for developing and testing web pages on a local machine (or for learning as is the case).
Note: The menu paths and some of the options mentioned in this book are not for the express edition. So if you do decide to go with the express edition, you may want to skip this book. Otherwise some sections of this book might be confusing.
