April 21, 2006: Programming ASP.NET is now on it?s 3rd edition?updated for the new 2.0 release of the .NET framework. I have always been a fan of the previous editions of this book, but this version is by far the best yet. In some of the previous editions of this book, code examples were provided in both C# and VB.NET. That was always a point of dissatisfaction with me?first of all, I don?t think anyone should be programming in VB.NET, and second of all, by putting in the same example twice, it left twice as less room for other material. This has all been resolved with this version. The authors have wisely opted to focus on C# with all their code examples. By focusing on just one language, this book feels more focused. One thing I loved about the previous editions was how virtually every control was discussed, with lots of examples, and lots of documentation. This trend continues in this book, but has been massively updated to account for all the new ASP.NET controls. All in all, I was very pleased with this book. The things I didn?t like from previous editions have been resolved, and the stuff I have always loved has remained. This is the best edition of Programming ASP.NET yet. The authors have deftly created a book that is part reference, part tutorial. This book is the best ASP.NET book available. Highly recommended.

May 20, 2004: As with the first edition of this book, the second edition continues to be the best ASP.NET book available today. This edition has been updated to include information on the 1.1 version of the .NET framework as well as Visual Studio 2003. Unlike many other ASP.NET books I have seen, you can actually pick this one up and begin writing ASP.NET applications quickly. The book begins with an introduction to the Visual Studio development environment, which is necessary knowledge to be able to effectively write and compile code. This introduction does a very good job quickly describing the most important features of the IDE. For a more thorough introduction to the Visual Studio .NET IDE, pick up a copy of O?Reilly?s Mastering Visual Studio .NET. This book then proceeds to discuss each of the ASP.NET server controls in detail. Examples are provided in both C# and VB.NET, with clear preference given to C#. Some of the more difficult concepts are clearly explained, with enough information provide to satisfy more advanced readers. Personally, I found many of the highlights of this book to be toward the end, where an excellent section on data access can be found. This has often been a point of contention with me: most applications today have some amount of data access involved. Unfortunately, most .NET books have only a small (and largely inadequate) data access chapter. The data access section in this book is one of the best I have seen. Even if you know a lot about ASP.NET, you?ll probably learn a thing or two from the data access section. The authors also have written an excellent chapter on creating custom controls for applications. There is a very good discussion on creating user controls and custom controls (both of which can be used as re-usable components in web applications). Like the previous edition, this book doesn?t disappoint. This is a must have for ASP.NET developers and an excellent tutorial for individuals trying to get their hands around ASP.NET.
