Get your hands dirty with 2.0

I bought this book after reading a couple of chapters at a local bookstore. It's very hands on, totally gets the job done. I was trying to implement a web application using the new asp.net framework, and it helped me out in all but details which I did not need till later on in the project.
What it will not do: Explain you the intricate differences, eg. at the level of the asp.net worker process in the difference in the way it compiles pages at runtime.
What it will do: Get you completely up and running with the new framework, esp. with a very good chapter about the GridView control.
