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

Product Description

Sams Teach Yourself ASP.NET in 21 Days will strive to introduce readers to ASP.NET through individual lessons contained in chapters. These lessons will begin with a thorough overview of the technology and framework involved, and gradually expand to more difficult lessons requiring deeper engineering skills and knowledge. Although each chapter will be self-contained, each subsequent chapter will build upon previous lessons to ensure that each topic is not only taught, but also used.

The book will introduce the ASP.NET Framework, Visual Basic .NET, and C#, the new COM framework. The book will cover applications of these technologies.

Sams Teach Yourself ASP.NET in 21 Days is the perfect book to introduce beginner and intermediate readers to the new technologies and frameworks presented by ASP.NET. By guiding readers through short but increasingly complex lessons, this book will give readers a strong foundation in ASP.NET, and the knowledge to develop their own creative solutions. Readers will delve into the new framework, the C# and Visual Basic programming languages, and techniques to approach difficult problems.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too Little for too much, yet a good start., 21 Aug 2001

By A Customer

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

1.0 out of 5 stars What a complete waste of paper, let alone money., 28 Sep 2001

By A Customer

The examples are inaccurate (see page 66 on arrays), it's the first real meaty example in the book and it's wrong.

The cd (with the book I purchased) does not contain the code for the examples in the book, instead it holds .exe's to install heaven knows what.
.Net installs IE 6, the cd with the book tries to install IE5.5 great!

There is no assistance with the IDE (integrated environment). There is no assistance with so much about .Net that it is hard to establish just what audience this book is aimed at. The use of DSN's are cited freely throughout the example--- OLD HAT. What about use of the Ole Db comands and SQL command that come built in, or the Data containers, Web form wizards.. all of which are exciting and none of which are explained in teach yourself terms.

Very little about practical applications, project managment, deployment etc etc etc.

Microsft have advanced from Visual Studio's Interdev substantially in .NET. The working examples with all source code is freely available from Microsoft. At least they DO WORK. The 'full application' in this book expects one to type in the source code for the entire application, debug the errors and then eventually get it working.

This book assumes that you are have a great deal of pre knowledge. I work in Cold Fusion, ASP and Interdev environments, I found the guide poor.

Look elsewhere you won't learn anything useful and you most definitely won't learn anything about .NET within 21 days apart from it's difficult and how to debug examples.

1.0 out of 5 stars Appalling, 8 Jul 2003

By	Mr. Rd Carr "richard_carr" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself Asp.Net in 21 Days (Paperback)

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.
