What is this book about?
With help from Microsoft ASP.NET insider Bradley Millington, John Kaufman covers both VB.NET and C# coding for ASP.NET databases so you don't have to decide up front which language you want more and retailers no longer have to manage inventory on separate language versions.
What does this book cover?
This edition is completely written from scratch on the ASP.NET "Whidbey" Beta to ensure the coverage is most appropriate for this greatly changed version.
The book focuses on solving business problems in a logical progression, from connecting to displaying to changing the data. Additional chapters cover enhancements to the presentation and alternate types of data. The book follows the practice of going beyond the basic techniques to discuss the permutations, pitfalls, and best practices that occur in real business scenarios.
More Reviews and RecommendationsJohn Kauffman has written numerous books about ASP and the incorporation of data into ASP pages. Born in Philadelphia and educated at Penn State, he has lived, taught, and programmed on three continents as he follows his wife’s diplomatic assignments.
When not writing, he spends his time sailing, teaching electronics to high school groups, and chauffeuring his kids to hockey and music practices.

February 12, 2006: I never post reviews. But I feel I must.Please do not waste your time with the other books out there who take you through hundreds of pages of fluff. Leaving you with the question of does this author know what asp.net 2.0 really is. This book by far clearly explains how to do many of the tasks that I have searched high and low for in easy and simple format. BUY THIS BOOK.AND LEAVE MICROSOFT PRESS BOOKS ALONE...you have been warned
