 Missing a few things April 29, 2010
Steven J. Kramer
While I agree with many of the positive things said about this book, it is missing a few things. First it completely leaves out the fact that there is a whole other programming language available for use with ASP.Net 3.5 and Visual Studio. C Sharp or C#. This, unfortunately for me, is what I needed it for. Second, you can download the code used throughout the modules in the chapters from the [...] website. That is mildly helpful. Most of it is already written out in the book. What it leaves out is example code for the exercises at the end of each chapter. That would have been extremely helpful. Instead the exercises were rendered mostly useless since there is no resource to go to if/when you get stuck.

The book is truly for beginners. It steps through web development in the .NET one step at a time. Some sections are too remedial, but they are sectioned in chapters such that it is easy to skip chapters of topics that you already understand.

I started programming MS Access, VB, and SQL Server since 1996. I went to technical college in 2005 to upgrade my skills to Internet and Web Design. I was taught Open Source software, since the public college could not keep up with paid software. As a result, I was at a disdavanage in getting a job, because most companies wanted people with ASP.NET skills. I have been out of work for about one year, so I decided to try my hands at ASP.NET 3.5.
I was hesitant at picking up a SAMS book, because I had found that they were poorly written in the past, and that they were filled with errors. I gambled on picking up this book by Mr. Scott Mitchell, and I must say that is one of the best investment that I have ever made. I get up every morning @ 3 AM, and I worked on a chapter from then until about 7 AM.
As a result, I have built a data driven Website, which I am using as an online portfolio. This book has pointed out additional resources to use, and it tells you where to find them. I was able to build Master Templates, Master skins, implement SQL Server data base driven security. Additionally, I have implemented my very first multi-tier architecture using Web pages, Business Logic Layer (BLL), Data Access Layer (DAL), and SQL Server 2005 database.
This book is not a magician, but it teaches you how to work smart. Mr. Mitchell focused on maybe two controls per chapter, which is awesome. The book is concise and is on point.
Good step by step approach, might have started with Master pages though. February 15, 2010

This is my 2nd Sams Teach Yourself book and I like it. It takes you through VB and basic programming for about 7 chapters and you might skim through and still pick up some ideas... then you're into the meat.
The various topics do take you through a progression that goes from easiest to hardest but because it does it skips (until later) the key organizer - Master pages. If you learn some things doing the mortgage calculator you have a page you might use on your site. Getting it into your Master page later is more difficult.
Another thing about variables... VB allows you to use whatever variable name you like, this is gone through in depth... then immediately not used. Some conventions I have learned elsewhere I applied (like sName for a string and lName for a long), so during the mortgage calculator I used my own variable names. The original mathematical formula uses single letter variables but we don't have to.
I think you will learn a lot using this book to teach yourself and I recommend it. The reason for the 4 rating is the wish that at the end I could use what I built rather than have just learned ASP.Net 3.5.
Also, if you're getting this for the programs that are included in the CD, they're all available for free from Microsoft for download and you get the latest versions. It's pretty cool that MS makes such a great tool as Visual Web Designer available for free. Kudos to them... I own Expression Web 3 and I use this free one for ASP.Net apps. EW3 is better at the CSS stuff so I can still use it for that.
Good luck with your website.

Excellent book! December 9, 2009

I'm only about 80 pages in, but finally I found a book where the screen shots actually look like what I'm seeing on my screen, and where the code samples actually work. The author slowly steps you through the development of a web site, but tells you that if you already know html for example where to skip to in the book. I'm a vb 6 programmer transitioning into .net and this is going to make the ride a lot smoother. And it includes free web developer in case you don't have VS 2008.
Ok, I'm 485 pages in now out of 600, and I still love it. Only found one typo so far. Great book!
