I first got a glance at this book at a local developers meeting by the end of last year. As a veteran ASP developer of more than 10 years of hands-on experience, I found that the author has covered a broad spectrum of latest technologies and recent developments in ASP.NET. Although it's titled as a beginner's guide, I've been using it as a handy reference, whenever I need it during my daily work.
Indeed if you are a novice user of ASP.NET, this book would undoubtedly help you build a solid foundation and gain a deep understanding in this area. However, if you are like me -- an occasional reader -- this book serves perfectly when you need some quick and all-in-one reference (than googling around).
