Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
ASP.NET is the part of the new .NET Framework for Web site developers. It's complex but Teach Yourself ASP.NET in 21 Days is designed to be accessible to HTML coders so it starts with the basics.
To put ASP.NET into context the author Chris Payne discusses client/server, the Common Language Runtime (CLR), MS Intermediate Language (MSIL) and the .NET Framework classes. He handholds you through installing IIS and the .NET Framework SDK. But by page 21 you're looking at your first ASP.NET page in a browser. Payne goes onto introduce the various languages you can use--C#, C++, VB and others--but his preference is for VB throughout most of the book. You'll learn to validate input, design and access databases, use ADO.NET and get to grips with reading and writing XML via a Web page. By this time you're in week three and your head is beginning to expand. The final third of Teach Yourself ASP.NET in 21 Days is full of those dull but necessary skills such as creating and maintaining configuration files, debugging applications and securing your site.
Though the story appears dislocated in places the fairly languid pace makes it easy to work through the examples and explanations--helped by ASP.NET's design. All the code is on the accompanying CD. Existing ASP developers even get a section highlighting differences in each chapter. Teach Yourself ASP.NET in 21 Days does what it says without confusing the issue with business processes. --Steve Patient --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Do not buy this book!
The examples are at best not useful due to their suspect subject matter and at worst full of errors!
The topic list for the book looks good but each chapter is an exercise in scratching the surface. You are better off with the frustration of MSDN.
Very poor.

I would not advise anybody to purchase this book. It is expensive, inaccurate and incredibly frustrating. Many of the examples either do not work or are for less than useful scenarios.
The topic list for the book sounds pretty good but only the surface is scratched on each one.
Very poor indeed, the reason I gave it one star is that Amazon don't allow zero stars :(

Transition form ASP to ASP.net is no easy task as it involves tuning your mind to event driven web applications from the usuall spaghetti code. The books gives a good insight and start to the process but leaves too many questions unanswered. The books does not cover the basics of the .NET framework and rushes you into ASP.net which i think is what this book is meant to do. Never the less it is a good start for experianced web developers saving them the trouble of going through pages and pages of documentation to read. It has some things for starters as well: it is a good confidence booster.
So Happy Programming with ASP.net

What a complete waste of paper, let alone money.
The examples are inaccurate (see page 66 on arrays), it's the first real meaty example in the book and it's wrong. Read more
