This book was quite hard to follow, and I think that was mainly because the author (G. Andrew Duthie) has not written clearly. For example, in the chapter on debugging wanted to see a document called “track. AXD “. The author wrote:” The addition of traces. AXD to the base URL for the application, a list … “I had to read that sentence a dozen times and still did not know what she was asking. The image that followed helped me to understand. This is just one example, because was the end of the book, the freshest in my mind.
If you are not familiar with ASP, I do not think that the author had in mind while writing this book. You can not read more than a couple of pages without saying “In classic ASP …” O “… Unlike classic ASP, ASP. NET … “Or something to that effect. This can confuse someone who is new to ASP (and ASP. NET) to provide additional information that really want to know. At the beginning of the book, said that ASP. NET is completely different from ASP . I think the author should have left and left-ASP in the past (where I think it belongs). It has included an appendix on how to update yor applciations ASP to ASP. NET, which is good. But it is growing, “classic” ASP’s book which I think is wrong.
This book is divided into four parts. The first part is aimed at beginners to help someone new to ASP. NET programming starts with the basics of programming VB. NET and explains what makes ASP. NET different from ASP. It also provides a brief (too brief) introduction to the server components can be added to an ASP. NET website.
the last three parties that the author really began to lose. It was as if I were writing at level 3 and then shot to level 8 of Part 1 and Part 2. Incidentally written on issues and not use the terminology defined earlier in the book. The chapters, but really I have information on the situation in Chapter 9 (Access and Data Association, a brief inroduction to ADO. NET) and 14 (analysis and debugging ASP. NET). Chapter 14 should have arrived long before the book. But Half of the examples that I teach a lot, and often do not work very well.
However, I would not recommend this book, and I regret buying (and paying retail at the top of this) . There is a lot more out there.

Sorry I bought this book. According to the previous reviewer, the author Mr. Duthie’s just not good at teaching. His book very badly designed, too many people shooting at the same time. Note: I say this as someone who has been writing for years and took a course ASP ASP. NET and VB. . . . If
waiting, like me, to use this book to learn C # will be very disappointed. . . There is a lot of C # in. There is a chapter titled Understanding basic programming concepts. . . which is “intended for readers who have little or programming experience anything directly.” . (What I thought was totally inappropriate for a book on a subject at this level), hilarious in the article, but then the next is bird-and beginners are encouraged to read a lot of other books and websites. . . the rest of the chapter is a short career and unnecessary for some aspects of C #. My sense is only one chapter redundant just put there so that beginners can be fooled buy the book.
The order book is also worthy of criticism. . . you end up wading through tons of information on “Management of State”, “application installation and safety.. before I knew about creating web forms or the use of controls… And I want children they need plenty of energy to it and drag it around all the parties before reaching a goal…
But the biggest problem with this book is that it has no clear idea of what level of programming aimed at, and is very confusing to get what he wants.

It’s really frustrating trying to learn a programming book in the author’s code does not work! None of the examples I have really tried to compile without having to “fix” your code. In most cases, that worked well, but in some cases, I never knew if my “fix” was a legitimate means to resolve the problem or could cause problems later. Not a good way to learn!

I started this book with a background in VB and classic ASP, with the aim of improving my knowledge of ASP. NET. I think that this book is really ugly.
It seems that half the book is supposed to have a vast knowledge of classic ASP, and the other half is supposed not you ever used any type of scripting language before . The examples are horribly simplistic to the point that they have absolutely no connection with modern web applications. But you do not understand much of the book, unless you have programming experience.
The first two parts (six chapters) could actually be something useful for a real beginner. They start slow and develop some basic skills.
Part 2 is a bit “different. Chapter 7 in web forms is fairly decent, but could be used any longer. Chapter 8 on server controls is poorly writing. Chapter 9 of the connection is terrible days. is supposed to have a very good background on access to traditional databases, with something like ADO, so it is definitely not for beginners. For example compares the DataReader object to a read-only cursor only forward, but if you have a background in data access not understand how cursors work. This is right next to where it says that the password key “Specifies the password used to access the SQL Server database. “Yes, DUH. In addition, most of the chapter is dedicated to working with XML data, but the chapter is working with databases. For a 68 page chapter conveys surprisingly little information that the new . It takes time to explain how the databases are always read and used in the work of real applications. just wanted to scream as I read.
Chapter 10 on creating custom server controls, and chapter 11 on creating web services are very brief introductions to some fairly advanced and complex topics. They provide simplistic examples and then expect to be able to use the knowledge acquired in the chapters. Yeah right.
Chapter 13 is aimed at beginners in the deployment of ASP. NET. Chapter 14 in the track and debugging is actually not bad. (It is not good either.)
The book is based on using Visual Studio.. I will say that I have a prejudice against the IDE for the use of simple scripts, so I will not comment on adequate here. But he warned that three-quarters or more of the examples involve VS. NET.

This is the least useful book I purchased. It has nothing useful and not answer any questions I had. No wonder it was so cheap. I spent $ 9. Amozon 95 for the book, but I feel like I was robbed. I can give you for free if you ask, but I would be guilty if I do, because it would waste your valuable time. See other reviews and was not the only victim, do not buy this, it is 100% garbage.
