    July 04, 2006: Walther gives a thorough rendition of ASP.NET 2.0. He explains the many improvements over version 1, as good reasons to migrate from it. Of these, the simplified accessing of a back end database might be the most compelling. While the idea of Cascading Style Sheets has been expanded into Master Pages with Themes. This allows easier maintenance of a large website that needs a consistent look and feel. The 2000 pages of this book are certainly impressive. One reason that the book is so long is because of the numerous code examples, written in ASP.NET and Visual Basic. With the accompanying CD having the corresponding code in C#. Certainly, it is a good thing in general to furnish many examples. However, the listings tend not to be code fragments, as other texts might do, but complete code sets. What you think about this can depend on your background. If you are new to ASP 2, then perhaps the complete listings are useful. Though if you take time to read through the book (admittedly this will be some time), then you might also find full listings to be superfluous. While if you already know the essence of ASP 2, and need a comprehensive text, then you don't really need full listings. All that does is take up space. What Walther could have done is push the full VB code listings onto the CD, and just write appropriate snippets in the text. There should certainly be enough space on the CD for this. This would considerably lighten the text, and might actually make it easier to follow the ideas.
