Editorial Reviews: Product Description The most up–to–date and comprehensive introductory ASP.NET book you’ll find on any shelf, Beginning ASP.NET 3.5 in C# 2008 guides you through Microsoft’s latest technology for building dynamic web sites. This book will enable you to build dynamic web pages on the fly, and it assumes only the most basic knowledge of C#. The book provides exhaustive coverage of ASP.NET, guiding you from your first steps right up to the most advanced techniques, such as querying databases from within a web page and tuning your site for optimal performance. Within these pages, you’ll find tips for “best practices” and comprehensive discussions of key database and XML principles you need to know in order to be effective with ASP.NET. The book also emphasizes the invaluable coding techniques of object orientation and code behind, which will start you off on the track to building real–world web sites right from the beginning—rather than just faking it with simplified coding practices. By the time you’ve finished the book, you will have mastered the core techniques and have all the knowledge you need to begin work as a professional ASP.NET developer.

I have read couple of books from Matthew McDonald and he has always impressed me. He is a good teacher. This is another good book from McDonald. If you are trying to learn ASP.NET, definitely check this book out. John Sharp is another great author to learn .net Very Well Done March 17, 2010 dSimmons (Broomfield, co USA) I needed to come up to speed on [...] for a project I am working on and this book was exactly what I needed. I really like the authors writing style. He is detail oriented and explains things in a clear manor. His thorough coverage of various topics saved me a lot of time. For example, the deployment chapter has a step by step procedure for getting the IIS server running in both Windows XP and Windows Vista. It mentions what problems you will run into if .NET 3.5 is installed before the server and how to fix these issues. I had IIS up and running my project in about an hour. I suspect it would have taken the better part of a day without the detailed steps and tips presented in the book. Many of the programming books I have purchased containing a large number of pages, keep publishing page after page of the same example code with minor changes. It seems like they are trying to meet a page limit. This book, while it does give examples, confines the code to the topic at hand. There is a lot of good information if you want to get into the details, but it is also easy to skim. This book rates in the top 5% of programming books I have read. This guy is spot on March 12, 2010 frisky weasel (Texas) I don't typically write a lot of reviews, but I was blown away by this guy's ability to so clearly and cleanly express the most important, "core" concepts and functionality concerning ASP.NET/C#. I've been a developer for over 10 years, and was looking to fully jump into .NET 3.5 (from 2.0). If you are a beginner, RUN, don't walk, to get this book. Matthew MacDonald does an excellent job of hitting the topics that are the most crucial to beginners and experts alike, he leaves out all the fluff and gets down to the meat of the most important topics. I will without a doubt be buying more of his books! Great even for experienced programmers October 30, 2009 Jon Hermiz (Michigan) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful 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. The best technical book I have read October 12, 2009 Greg S (Colorado United States) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful 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. Showing reviews 1-5 of 21 1 2 3 4 5 Next »
