Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Web developers using Microsoft server platforms will migrate to ASP.NET for its combination of greater functionality combined with greater ease of use.ASP.NET: Tips, Tutorials and Code is intended to provide a complete tutorial and reference for existing ASP developers.

The book is laid out in roughly the order you'd want. It starts with the vast difference between the procedural script approach to page creation in classic ASP and the Web control based approach in ASP.NET. You then go on to ASP.NET code techniques, field validation and so on taking in XML usage, error handling, security, browser support and even backward compatibility along the way. It's all extremely thorough with plenty of coded examples. The emphasis on real-world Web-development issues rather than theory is welcome. As is the workshop section at the end of each chapter which gives you a chance to try the material and check your understanding of it.

On the downside, the large number of authors--clearly assigned different sections--result in a book which lacks the continuity you get from a single viewpoint. This occasionally makes it hard to follow. It would have benefited from a more consistently structured approach to topics. However, the technical editing is good.

In many ways ASP.NET: Tips, Tutorials and Code is a book ASP.NET developers will want to dip into for information on specific areas rather than to read end to end. New users will do better with Sams Teach Yourself ASP.NET In 24 Hours. --Steve Patient

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything in one book!, 3 Sep 2001
By Mr. P. Winstanley (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book takes the attitude towards the reader that they are not an idiot, whilst at the same time taking a simple clean approach to explaining the code it is showing you.

It covers all the topics you could wish to cover in an ASP.NET book with many examples and excellant step by step walk throughs.

I would personally reccomend this book to anyone who is thinking of Starting ASP.NET, it is all you need to start!

3.0 out of 5 stars Some good bits, some bad bits., 29 Nov 2001
This book has all the potential of being a very useful offering as both a reference and teaching aid. Turns out it fails on both counts, because of the patchy nature of the chapters. This book cannot by any means be called uniform in quality. There are some excellent chapters and some simply average ones and some complete dogs!

By far and away best are the 2 chapters on Data Manipulation and Presentation, although these are let down by loosed editing - in the form of missing source code listings. As is the chapter on code-behind ("Separating Code from Content"). Also very good, as is the one on XML ("Using XML"), although a single chapter on XML is not going to be sufficient for anyone, but you will be happy to know that the writer of this chapter (Dan Wahlin) has published a book of his own. There are also some rather useful chapters on areas that are usually left out of books of this type, and they deal with Error Handling ("ASP.NET Error Handling") and state management ("Managing State").
The chapters that are really awful and could do worse than being re-written are: "Web Services" and "Application-Level Programming" simply because they simply do not have enough in the way of quality code. One thing that I find quite curious is the chaper on "Enabling Better Browser Support" - which doesn't really have a place in .NET, which aims to reproduce uniform browser behaviour.

All code samples are in VB.NET with some consideration for the C# public, but certainly the source-code is not eqally bi-lingual- which I hope gets addressed in the future.

Overall a good book, although be prepared for some ups and downs in quality.
