 Great learning tool! October 5, 2008

I really appreciate this book for what it is, a beginner's book. Will this book be applicable to you as a seasoned developer in any language, I don't think so, it really is a "Build your own site" type of book.
For those who are interested in getting a solid foundation in many of the basics of ASP.NET 2.0, I would recommend this book. I will be following this book with Damien Foggon's ASP.NET Beginning DB Book and then moving to Chistian Darie's ASP.NET Ecommerce book finishing up with the Problem, Design Solution ASP.NET 2.0 by wrox. I tend to need alot of example to get me where I am going, and I feel like I got much more of a bang for my buck with this book as it was easy to read and follow the examples.
Now, I did run into some setup issues that produced some errors along the way. Patience and persistence paid off everytime, along with some assistance from those on the web who had the same problems before me. In no way was the book responsible for my system setup, I actually received support from the sitepoint forums, so thanks.
Looking forward to getting into the next book. BTW, I have already built 5 published sites with just the help of this book and I have more clients calling.
In summary, from html to asp.net 2.0 in 8 days with great success! Thanks for a great book!

I have read many technical books and this is so far the best. I know my way around computers and the basics of programming and wanted to learn some more of ASP.NET. This book has been an excellent tutorial. Even the basics of object oriented programming and SQL are explained. Loved it.
There is one caveat. The book was written for Windows XP and IIS 6. If you are using Windows Vista and IIS 7 like me, be prepared to search for some stuff yourself. Do not worry though, some Googling will help you along the way.
 good for beginner and semi-experienced asp.net developers August 23, 2007

i got into dot net when it first came out, when sample codes on how do things you take for granted were scarce or non existent. I was converting an ASP app to dot net. was ahead of my time, ran into too many mundane issues, cancelled my project after 5 months. Now I want to try ASP.NET for real.
I've found this book to be very helpful in connecting the dots. The samples are good enough . Highly recommend it.
I found the right book to learn asp.net May 24, 2007

I am an asp programmer. And I would like to transform myself into asp.net. after trying one title after another by reading the PDF files that I found on the net, I thought I found the right book ASP.NET 2.0 Unleashed from Stephen Walther. I bought the book and learned from it. But I got stuck somewhere after the basic controls. The author assumes that the reader is either intermediate or advanced level with the .NET programming skill. I am not at that level yet. Again I went back to find other PDF files and I found this one and I knew this was the perfect fit for me. I bought the book and I am very happy with this book. it teaches asp.net 2.0 from beginning level. It explains in details all the basic knowleges that an asp.net programmer needs to know. Then it moves on to ado.net. But all these are just basics only. not going too far into advanced level. One thing that I like is that I build the project while learning. There are minor wording error. If you don't know programming, then this is the problem. If you already know programming (VB,C#), then you can see the wording error and correct yourself.
If you are looking for a book that set you up from start with .NET, this one is the right one. If you already have the basic of asp.net and would like to get to the advanced level, then you may be disappointed.
