Summary: MCSD.NET,MCSE,MCDBA,MCSA and MCT
Comment: I will review that book from my experience as Microsoft.NET Architect/Trainer. Sybex said that this book for the beginners who don't know ASP at all and you just need to know a little about HTML but if you looked at the book you will find that every single chapter the author will talk about VB 6 and Classic ASP. Also he wrote some CSS classes without discussing it and C++ code too (only once). I think the book MAYBE useful for the ASP/VB6 programmers who want learn ASP.NET with C#. But even though it's not good at all. If i know the author e-mail i would send him this review directly.

Summary: leaves a lot to be desired
Comment: After many tries, I've officially given up reading this book at Chapter 17 of this 23 chapter book. This book definetely doesn't belong in the "mastering" series of sybex. I've followed along many books of this series, from SQL, to VB to Server 2003, etc, but this one just doesn't measure up to the quality of the others. Here are the problems with this book:
1. Too many samples, but not enough explanations. I'll be happy if the author presents complicated topics, as long as he explains them thouroughly. But not here, all you get, is one long-winded code after another, but only a sentense or two to explain what the heck is going on in the code. So usually as I read a chapter, I would counsult another book, so I can have some clue what was just covered. Not an ideal learning experience.
2. Too boring. The author doesn't inject one iota of humor, or any kind of real world examples, or applications for his codes. The explanations are terse and dry, and felt as if, the author doesn't really care, or care to know, that at the other end, there's another person reading this.

Summary: Not a good first ASP.net or C# book
Comment: This book tends to become scattered, and the author seems to ramble at times. I was expecting more simple explanation by example, but what examples there were seemed to contain large amounts of code that belonged in an entirely different topic. I tended to notice alot of "I'm showing you this, but I'm not going to say anything about it in this book."...
This is not to say that there is no useful information in this book, but it is difficult and tiring to get to. The content seems to drift towards generalized advice in many areas, rather than actual instruction.
I would say that this book would be worth owning only if you have a good core of ASP.net knowledge, and want a book that will increase the dsetail of your knowledge in a wandering manner.
