Sams Teach Yourself ASP.NET in 21 Days (2nd Edition) Review by D. E. Johnston
DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK-It's out of date.
It's a good book for what I used it for. I didn't use the book to actually learn how to program asp.net. The examples in the book are useful for indicating how certain classes are supposed to be used and there is some explanation of usage. It's thick and heavy.
Biggest drawback is the fact that this book was written for ASP.net 1.1. The industry is at version 3.5 right now. You cannot transfer the classes used in 1.1 to 2.0 or 2.5. All the examples that I used were in VB.net, which is in my opinion after programming in java for 3 years before, much closer to java than c#. This was a great book when it was its time, but the only reason to purchase this book now is to serve as a door stop, or if you are running a really old windows web server with just .net 1.1 on board.
