Opinion

In my opinion it is definitely worth paying the $59.99 suggested retail price to purchase this book. This is one of those few books that both beginners and advanced ASP.NET developers should have.  Not only is it a great reference guide, but it also demonstrates how to apply each principle in an example.

Hi,

This book is one of the worst I ever read.
A lot of code in the book but a lot of valuable information missing. You use the samples then you keep wondering for a long time about the missing parts that will make the samples work.

Alos, this book is toooo much tied to microsoft technology. Try using a database other than SQL Server... good freaking luck !

ciao

Very interesting article. You just earned a new fellow reader :)

I like a lot this article and others I just read on this blog.

Mind me a question, have you ever considered using the standard edition of LiteSpeed instead of lighttpd?

LiteSpeed has some good features like compatibility with .htaccess files (with caching) and mod_rewrite.

Best regards,

I think the reviewer was pointing out that for those of us that know C# syntax, it would be nice to have the source in C#. I am unfamiliar with VB.NET and find the syntax for most code very strange. I am NOT saying that one is better than the other, just that I can understand C# syntax. Most modern text actual provide both -- I would not buy this book for that reason.

Jon's Nemesis, I think you've been taking some C# pills lately. Don't start any language wars. There will always be a place for each language.

Lay off the space cake. C# owns VB and day of the week. C# is for real programmers, just wait until 3.0 gets lamdba expressions, something which very few imperative programming languages (save python and ruby) have. Or did you not notice that VB is always lagging behind C# in terms of feature development? Get real.

Mike is correct. The C# examples are on CD. However, CDs can be lost or destroyed so it would be nice if the examples could be downloaded (which Stephen has made available) or shown in the book. I was merely pointing out that if I had to force myself to find a flaw, that would be the only one. :)

Jon, I'd stay away from comments like that. C# does have a purpose and place. If it didn't, it wouldn't exist. Notice that many of the source downloads from Microsoft are still in C# only. The only thing I can add to your comment is the fact that Microsoft has mandated that their examples be written in VB. This is most likely due to their desire to have VB 6 developers switch to .NET (Just my opinion and speculation).

All .net books should be only in VB.

Stick all that C# crap where it belongs, buried on some CD

At the begining of the book Stephen mentions that every code sample is provided in c# on the accompanying CD.
