I am astonished at the number of coding mistakes both in the book and the downloadable code files.
In the book the authors state that there will be help available via both the Publisher's and Cristian Darie's website but, as yet, no errata is given.
Over the past few months I have tried to get answers to my queries about the mistakes, and also some missing code, via the Errata submission form, but nothing has been answered. I contacted Apress several times and was told that they are sending multiple queries to the authors and that they expect some answers soon. That was months ago.
I have also directly emailed Cristian Darie and Karli Watson months ago but have not received any response.The authors of this book appear to have taken the money and run.
Asp.net beginners will probably struggle with this book due to the errors in it.

I purchased this book to further develop my ASP.NET skills into the world of dynamic e-commerce solutions. The features of the so called finished website are great, just what I was looking to learn. The truth is it doesn't work, there are to many errors in the first five chapters including missing SQL stored procedures and empty category pages. I put it down to my typing so Plan B came into play at the end of chapter five. I downloaded the source code and openned up the final chapter in Visual Studio 2008, established the database connection, completed all the SQL requirements, still didn't function properly including the problem with empty category pages. The support.......... well there isn't any, your on your own. Beginners will find this book very frustrating. It's so important to have a working solution at the end of each chapter, otherwise the learning process comes to an end and the enthusiasm for the Microsoft technology is lost. Microsoft should be looking at this. Books claimimg working solutions utilising Microsoft technologhy's that don't work, make the learning process very difficult doing more harm than good.

Great ASP.NET 3.5 Book
23 April 2009
Format:Paperback
Among the many ASP.NET books out now, very few actually go through and help readers how to create large-scale web applications. There are plenty of reference books available explaining how to use the many ASP.NET controls and c# langauge techniques showing you snippets of code but thats about it. In the job market today, people need to understand how to put together (from start to finish) a usable web application that can be used in the "real-world".
This book (as its previous ASP.NET 2.0 version) explains to its readers how to create from scratch a web application using techniques that you would see in a real-world application.
Of course it is a limited database, but it is something that you can build upon and use many of the techniques in other similar web applications.
The book first starts in explaining the database structure (The Balloon Shop) and hoow 3-tier architecture works in a web application today. The presentaion tier, the business tier and the data tier. All these "tiers" are just objects that you create in ASP.NET and C#. The presentation tier would be your web forms (controls and such), your business tier would be all the code (defined in classes) that will interact with the presentation tier and the data tier will be your database and any remaining functions. This is the real web applications work and the author explains it very well.
VS 2008 and SQL Server 2008 Express is used so you dont have to spend any money on other tools (free from Microsoft) and the author goes through all the database tables while explaing database basics such as tables, keys, SQL statements and stored procedures. A very nice database intro.
The author then goes into detail explaining all the classes (explaining how to create classes and why they are useful) that will be used in the application.
Other real-world issues in developing web applications are discussed like performance, error handling, error pages, administrations issues, interacting with 3rd party components, etc.
After you read this book, you should be well versed in developing a pretty sophisticated ASP.NET 3.5 web application.
I highly recommend this book.

Error prone with no website for errata or comments that get any attension
31 Oct 2009
Format:Paperback
First, the book is a great book as far as showing you how to do website design. Each chapter builds on the rest of the book.
However, there have been problems with the url-rewrite section. Ever since I added that to my sample site it has stopped working properly. My *.css file could not be found, picture urls did not work and more recently my full text search.asp also does not work on pages other than page 1 of a category site. It took me over a month of on again off again trying to get it to work for me to find out about how to fix this problem by adding another url rewrite to my web config file. The authors just seem to skip this part of the code. It is not in their code either so I start to wonder if they ever tried their code before being finished with the book.
It has been impossible to contact them about this problem and on Christians web site their are no errata available to view or able to be published. The site on [...] is completely useless and I have never received a response from it or the authors about my questions. This attitude that they have is beyond me.

I would not recommend buying this book to anyone the authors do not seem to care about their mistakes in this book I've seen the same complaints every where this book is for sale world wide numerous people have tried contacting the author with no success. I found bugs in the source code the same bug can be found throughout the source code samples it won't run with this bug so they could not have run their own code if they did they knew there where bug and took no steps to solve the problem. I contacted the publisher more than a month ago they where going to get on the authors to get some errata up for this book they can't even get this author to put up a fix for the code, there is no errata for this book despite many people asking for it If you buy this book after reading this you can't say you weren't warned it's code heavy basic [...] data access I haven't seen much [...] 3.5 specific stuff in this book and I would never buy another book with these authors names on it they clearly don't know what they are talking about or they would have put the errata up the 5 star ratings must be pepole who are related to these authors or they never sat down and did this tutorial I typed out every line in this tutorial I got mine to work only after finding thie mistakes. This book is for developers who are more advanced than the authors such a developer wouldn't need this book DON'T BUY THIS BOOK
