Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
With a foreword by Microsoft's Mark Anders, Professional ASP.NET consists of 19 chapters written by seven of today's leading experts in ASP.NET. These authors are professional developers who create ASP.NET applications, teach, run well-known ASP.NET Web sites, either within or outside of Microsoft. The tutorial framework for each chapter includes:- A brief introduction, explaining the concept.
- A code example, illustrating the concept.
- A piece-by-piece explanation of the code.
Most examples employ VB.NET, but there are also additional C# examples within each chapter, and all of the example programs will be available at the book's web site in both VB.NET and C#.
The code examples in this book are based upon the ASP.NET Beta2 specifications, a functionally complete version of the software.
Amazon.com Review:
Instead of having to learn everything about .NET all at once, ASP.NET: Tips, Tutorials, and Code offers a better way to start using the new ASP.NET effectively based on the most important APIs and programming techniques. For anyone tackling ASP.NET, this book is a great source of practical advice backed up with real examples.
A standout feature of this text is that it does not try to take on all of .NET very first before showing you how to start actually using ASP.NET. In the very first chapters, you'll learn the most important APIs and programming techniques for using collections, files, and directories, uploading files, and the like. Anchored with VB.NET (and some C# examples), each chapter is written by a separate author (or authors) with a personal take and advice on topics like database programming with ADO.NET, XML, and security options. This is a truly winning approach because it will let beginners or those with experience with the older ASP standard get going quickly with ASP.NET. Better yet, the authors have tested their techniques with the current beta in real code, so you can trust what they say regarding performance, deployment, and configuration, for example.
Final chapters on such advanced topics as separating data from presentation logic, mobile controls for wireless devices, and COM/Win32 interoperability with .NET will please more expert readers. By carving out areas of ASP.NET and exploring them in depth rather than insisting on broad coverage for its own sake, as with many of the very first round of titles on .NET, this title sets an admirably high standard as a practical source of programming advice on a platform that is still under construction.
Read this text with or without a general tutorial for .NET and VB.NET and you will have a great head start on Microsoft's newest Web development tools and languages. --Richard Dragan

It is an excellent book. Especially I like the way the authors teach. For a task, very first it uses ASP 3.0 to show you how it works and then ASP.NET. It explains the differences between the classical ASP and the ASP.net, why the ASP.net is better. If you use ADO.net, you can't avoid using the namespaces "System.Data.SqlClient" and "System.Data.Oledb", the methods "ExecuteReader()" and "ExecuteNonQuery()". The author gives explanations in an extremely clear way. It tells you what they are, what differences between the two and when to use them. All the ADO examples are made by the both namespaces. It is so clear, there are no nonsense words. Another review mentioned already for another good thing is the Security. I haven't seen any other books to do so. If you are like me - want answers quickly and clearly. You got the right book. Highly recommend!!!!!

I have bought many books over the years to aid in my career as a computer programmer from all the major vendors (Microsoft, Wrox, Sams, Osborne etc..)
I have 3 SAMS books with a "blue cover" (like this one) and there is something about them.
They all FALL APART!!!
The other 2 I have like this (with the same problem) is: "Microsoft .NET XML web services" and "Building E-commerce sites with the .NET framework".
All three of the books that are made like this from SAMS have all the pages falling out of them, the cover falls off. I tried to glue them but it doesnt come out that great. Its very annoying to have a book you spent maybe 35-40 bucks for and to have the pages all falling off of it and trying to deal with it. It basically makes the reading experience unacceptable because you get tired of dealing with all the pages separating..
I tried to let Sams know about this issue, they need to fire their book binders, but its like pulling teeth getting any customer service from them.
The content is actually quite good, but I cannot recommend a book that falls apart as you read it (literally).
Sorry Sams but you need to address this. I have many other books and I have not ran across this issue but with these "blue-cover" Sams books. Stop trying to cut costs with these cheap book bindings and cheap covers.

Quite a good book, but really only for beginners, all articles, tips, etc. do not really go in depth, so if you have already a little bit experience with asp.net, buy another book ...
But maybe this is the problem with most of the books existing about asp.net at the moment ...

This is an ok book. This is a good entry level book, the code examples and topics are definitely for the beginner. The problem I have is with the books title, I would expect this book to be about more advanced topics than it really is.
This is typical of many of the very first books regarding asp.net, to many subject areas and therefore not a significant amount of depth in any area.
