From the Back Cover
ASP.NET allows web sites to display unique pages for each visitor rather than show the same static HTML pages. The release of ASP.NET 2.0 is a revolutionary leap forward in the area of web application development. It brings with it a wealth of new and exciting built–in functions that reduce the amount of code you′ll need to write for even the most common applications.
With more than 50 new server controls, the number of classes inside ASP.NET 2.0 has more than doubled, and, in many cases, the changes in this new version are dramatic. This book will alert you to every new feature and capability that ASP.NET 2.0 provides so that you′ll be prepared to put these new technologies into action.
What you will learn from this book
- The idea of the server control and its pivotal role in ASP.NET development
- How to create templated ASP.NET pages using the new master page feature
- Techniques for debugging and handling errors
- The various frameworks that will enable you to extract, create, manipulate, and store XML
- Ways to package and deploy ASP.NET applications
- How to retrieve, update, and delete data quickly and logically

Notably, it covers C# and VB - for a developer like me that uses both, this is much to its credit. This also explains why it comes in at over 1000 pages (but is still easy to digest).
This book should suit anyone with more than a basic grasp of programming (and not necessarily in Microsoft or Web technologies). It ranks with some of the best development books that I've read - I thoroughly recommend it.
Now I'm moving to .Net 2.0, I thought the "Professional ASP.Net 2.0" book would be a logical first choice, but I found myself skimming through at least two-thirds of this book, as it covered an awful lot of subjects that I alread knew. It wasn't a "step up from 1.1" book that I hoped it might be.
While I found it gave a useful insight into the new .Net 2.0 features, I felt it didn't go into enough detail at times, and understandably some of the new features probably deserve books of their own. At times I was also left with the feeling that one or two chapters were rushed (e.g. the Web Parts) as though the author himself wasn't up to speed with that subject!
To summarise - not a bad book to give you an overview of .Net 2.0, or "freshen up" on existing subjects, but a lot of it was wasted on me.
However I'm still a fan of Wrox, and I suspect I'll end up buying their books on ADO.Net 2.0, Web Parts, and Visual Studio 2005 (when released next month).
