ASP.NET 3.5 For Dummies is an all new version of the popular title that makes it easy for beginners to create dynamic, data-driven Web applications on the Microsoft platform. Wherever possible the book minimizes the amount of code you write by harnessing powerful design-time tools built into Visual Web Developer 2008 and its free version, Visual Web Developer 2008 Express. Where coding is required, the author walks you through the details using familiar concepts from everyday life. The book includes many examples of "geekspeak" terminology so you'll feel comfortable in a conversation with professional ASP.NET programmers.
ASP.NET developers will benefit as well because the book integrates the new features of ASP.NET 3.5 into the text and sample code. These include LINQ queries, ASP.NET AJAX, extension methods, Silverlight, and the new ListView control. Using realistic examples in VB, you learn to create pages that incorporate the major ASP.NET controls and features. Coverage includes:

This book is great. In just one week I was able to create, with only a few lines of code, a brillant dinamic website.
Well done Ken Cox. NOTE: This books contain VB coding and not C# (Review Data Last Updated: 2008-10-03 06:10:26 EST)

This is not the first ASP.Net book I've read. This is the first one I've enjoyed!-)
Because of this book I'll reconsider my attitude towards the whole series. Suddenly it seems a great idea - get the basics with no pain. I liked the humor. I liked the fact the author's making it so easy. I like the stress on using the tools and not writing the code by hand. I key in the samples. Then I look at the code generated by the tools. Then I look at the code sent to the browser. A great way to learn. And have fun. (Review Data Last Updated: 2008-09-07 04:46:59 EST)

This book uses VB only. The web site reference is non existant. The overview should stipulate the strict usage of VB not C#. If you want to use C# do not but this book.

I almost didn't by the ASP.NET 3.5 for Dummies. Then I noticed that it was a different author than ASP.NET 2.0 for Dummies and I thought I would give it a look. Bill Hatfield wrote the 'Dummies' book on the previous version and while I found him to be very knowledgeable, I got frustrated because I was trying to learn how to use Visual Studio with ASP.NET and his book didn't provide much help. Ken Cox however "gets it". He wrote the book for use with Visual Studio and by the end of Chapter 4 you're already using AJAX with no difficulty! By chapter 7 you're delving into LINQ! Ken's approach is intelligent and his style works both for the beginner as well as those more seasoned in ASP.NET. Excellent book!

I am an experienced developer so I only expected to skim over the book to get familiar with any of the new asp.net 3.5 features. I found myself reading every word of every page because the book was actually "entertaining". The writing is very smooth and easy to understand. You feel as if a really good teacher who knows how to relate to people is talking to you.
I was also surprised how deep the book was able to go into each subject. For example Linq is a very complicated subject yet the book does contain enough examples for you to use it in the real world. (Review Data Last Updated: 2008-05-01 03:54:26 EST)
