Been doing asp.net for quite some time. But I wanted a book that gave me more details about why things work the way they work. This book was very well written, had a great amount of tips in various aspects of asp.net. The truly most important thing is it was not boring and you will learn with this book.

I have read so many technical books over the last 25 years. This book is extremely well organized. Mr. MacDonald really spent time organizing what went into the book and how it is presented. For someone experienced in development but new to ASP.NET, this book is awesome and will get you the foundation you need to be on your own in no time. I would recommend this book over all other intro books I have seen.

If there is such a comprehensive book in the J2EE world, J2EE will be less painful.
Even though I prefer J2EE over .NET, I have to admit that this book ramp up the skill of .NET developers faster than any other J2EE books for J2EE developers.

The book assumes you are already a VB or other higher-level language programmer just being retooled and that you are ignorant of HTML. I have 10 years of ColdFusion experience but can't look up such things as how to read a cookie or query string or output data from the master page code behind page in the master page itself. I am online right now to find a better book. I also have the C# book from this series. Same thing.

The book teaches you exactly what it says on the cover. Not only has this book taught me the beginning of Asp.net but it helped me get a job a year later.
