ASP.NET: Your Visual Blueprint for Creating Web Applications on the .NET Framework (With CD-ROM) Review by Jason Goemaat
Great Information, too broken up
This book is great at showing you how to do individual tasks with ASP.NET, but fails to bring it all together into a coherent picture of what a complete ASP.NET application should be like. If you want to quickly find out how to do one of the 130 or so tasks that this book covers (i.e. "Request Single Line Input", "Declare a Variable", "Work with XML Data Sources", and "Using Forms Authentication"), it is explained clearly. It also explains clearly the changes needed to migrate from ASP and VBScript to ASP.NET and VB.NET, from JavaScript to JavaScript.NET, and has plenty of C# examples.
I was misled by the title of the book, it's more of a set of building blocks than a blueprint.
