Most Helpful Customer Reviews   15 of 15 people found the following review helpful: Great attempt, but full of errors., 24 May 2006 By  Holf - See all my reviews As an overview of ASP.NET 2.0, this is an excellent book. Where it falls down is the vast quantity of bugs and errors. The book is written to fit with downloadable example code, and yet the book descriptions fail to fit with these code downloads on so many, many occasions. Just have a look at the www.wrox.com forum devoted to this book and you will see many, many frustrated users posting issues, and the (usally very helpful) authors apologising and coming up with corrections. Unfortunately there are just too many issues which do not have solutions published on the forums. Perhaps a subsequent edition will be improved, but for the current edition that I have (which was published in 2006), I just can't recommend this due to all the errors. This is a shame, as the book is obviously a labour of love by four authors and it would be so very, very good otherwise.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

I first tried Professional ASP.NET 2.0 by Wrox but soon realised I was walking into completely unknown territory. Why? 1: I had to learn the .NET 2.0 framework 2: I had to learn OO principles 3: I had to learn VB.NET The book is "plagued" with errors. These may appear to most as a pain but they actually forced me to really take my time with the book and pay close attention (sometimes it's nice not getting spoon-fed). In every case I was able to work out why errors had occurred and what to change. This increased my confidence that I knew what the authors where talking about. Without the errors in the code, I would give the book 5 stars no problem. It's simple, and covers aspects that really show off ASP.NET 2.0 such as the Visual Studio IDE (Free Version: Visual Web Developer), Profiles, Roles, Authorization and Authentication, Web Controls, Validation etc and "hints" at the more exciting underlying powers of .NET such as generics, web services and more. Overall, a nice book to get started with ASP.NET 2.0. If you finish this book and are looking to move forward I would recommend looking at: Professional ASP.NET 2.0 Programming Visual Basic 2005 The Language ASP.NET 2.0 Unleashed  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

I had to learn ASP due to a new job as Programmer. I bought this book as I had brought 2 other programming books from Wrox, and I was very impressed with them.
