"This book is by far the best computer programming book I have ever bought. You can go into my upstairs closet and find 20-30 books that I have purchased since the days of VB6. All of them have a few useful pages in them, but all together, they could not add up to as much information as you have given me in the first 11 chapters of this book."(A developer's comment on this book in an email sent to Murach Books) If you know how to code Windows forms using Visual Basic and want to move to the next level of professional development by mastering web programming, don't miss out on the practical ASP.NET training that's packed into this book. As its title implies, it teaches all the features that are new in ASP.NET 2.0, including master pages, database access using both SQL and object data sources, the new code-behind model, site navigation features, authentication using the Web Site Administration tool and login controls, profiles, themes, and web parts. And of course, it teaches all the ASP.NET features that are unchanged in this release and that you're going to use every day. But a lot of ASP.NET 2.0 books say they do that. So here are just a few of the reasons why professional developers like this book so much: #1: It gives you a 5-chapter section on database programming #2: It teaches you ASP.NET 2.0 development the way it should be done, using Visual Studio 2005 #3: Complete applications show you how all the pieces interact #4: The distinctive "paired-pages" format* makes learning
and reference
a breeze (*To see how paired pages work, you can download free chapters from the Murach web site.) So if you need to learn ASP.NET 2.0, we hope you'll try this book first. We're convinced that it will deliver the training you need better and faster than any competing book. |

I don't where the other reviews about this book being good for beginners is coming from.
I have solid programming experience in C and Visual Basic 6 and two semesters of Java. I have also 10 years experience with regular HTML. I have even worked through all the exercises in Build Your Own ASP.NET 2.0 Web Site Using C# & VB by Cristian Darie and Zak Ruvalcaba. Thank goodness I had that going for me, because I would have been lost otherwise in chapters 2 and 3. The example in Chapter 2 should have been about the Order.aspx page which is used in the remaining chapters of the book. Instead the authors go off on a tangent using as an example a different webpage which isn't ever used again later on in the book. The first 2 or 3 chapters are critical, and I strongly believe that the authors need to SHOW how to go about creating the Design views of Orders.aspx and Cart.aspx pages that they discuss extensively in Chapter 3. They basically just throw the screen captures up thinking that the discussion in Chapter 2 would be useful and helpful. Not! They also put up the code for both Product.vb and CartItem.vb without specifically telling the reader which should go where. A no-no for beginners. I also agree with a previous review which said that the dual-page approach is a great waste of paper because much of the text was redundant. I am not saying it's a bad book, but it is not as good as it could be. It is for people who have some programming and HTML experience. (Review Data Last Updated: 2008-11-18 10:09:47 EST)

I thought it was a good reference book - not one you could read cover to cover. It seemed to jump around a bit more than I liked. It covered most of the need-to-know topics.
I tend to work in the source code window more than the design window, and this book tends to do the latter. It's not a bad thing, it's just different. All in all, it's a good book, but some of the topics/concepts seem forced into the application you are creating throughout the book. (Review Data Last Updated: 2008-01-21 08:12:54 EST)

I've spent hours and hours on Amazon, on messageboards, sitting on the floor at Borders reading thru every ASP.NET book available, and it seemed none came close to this book for real-world, comprehensive teaching and practice. I have not been dissapointed, as I am almost finished and the book has helped me get up to speed after a long layoff (I last programmed Classic ASP years ago). Each example builds on the previous one to build a completed application. Awesome.

When I received the book I had a hard time putting it down. It hit the nail right on the head, as to what I was looking for. Detailed information is great, and can be used as a reference also. You don't have to waste time sifting through page after page trying to find what you need. One page has the details and the other is reference!

I was looking for a training book that would help me quickly understand ASP.NET 2.0 with VB.NET 2005 for my company's upcoming web application projects. While this book for the most part has helped provide me with the basic skills I need and does act as a good reference tool to refer back to while developing, I wish the training was as thorough as most Murach books.
The biggest problems I have is that very few of the chapters (only one of the first seven chapters that I have completed) have any guided excersises which empahize the skills learned in that chapter, and none of them have any do it yourself projects which provide you with a problem which by using the skills learned, you have to figure out your own solution. I found such training tools in previous Murach books (such as Beggining Visual Basic.NET) key to my understanding of the material being discussed. Lack of such training exersises aside, this book will provide a good foundation in ASP and acts as excellent reference material while working on a project.

This book is not sure who it is intended for. It states it is for Training and Reference. It is not a training book and as a refence book it leaves much to be desired. If you know anything about ASP.NET the first 300 pages will bore you (so will most of the rest of the book). Whether you know ASP.NET or not parts of the last 200 pages assume you are an expert and even states topics the author raises won't be covered since it is assumed you are already familar. Leaves you wondering who the book is really for.
I feel that most of the content in this book is covered better in Scott Mitchell's ASP.NET 2.0 in 24 hours from Sams, even in one of the two ASP.NET 2.0 Dummies books if you are a beginer. If you are experienced with ASP.NET you will be better served looking at O'Reilly's ASP.NET 2.0 A Developer's Handbook by Wei-Meng Lee. IMHO The paired pages are not well done. The left hand page supposedly has the description; the right hand page, always referred to as a 'figure' even if it is all text, has: (a.) a summary of the description; (b.) a table; (c.) a very few lines of code, often out of context; (d.) a screen shot; or some combination of these. The description invariably immediately refers to the figure but then lists what you should get out of the 'figure'. On more than half the paired pages there is no need to read the the right-hand page. An additional complaint with the book is that the granularity required to produce the paired pages is often to granular to convey a complete idea in context, often when this happened the balance of the idea is not presented in the next paired page but later in the chapter as is continually stated by the author, making the book seem disjointed on many occassions. There is good information in the book but 800+ pages is a lot to wade through to find those nuggets; it works better as a reference than as a training book but even as a refernce it falls down due to the disjointed, incomplete idea presentation. A couple of things in this book not yet found in the others I've read is the new ability to have accelerator keys (Alt+'key'), User & Server Controls. Before you commit your money and your time tothis book you should evaluate where you are on the ASP.NET learning curve, what you want out of an ASP.NET 2.0 book and whether this book will fit your needs. I think there are better books availble to learn ASP.NET from, regardless of your experience. (Review Data Last Updated: 2007-06-24 10:52:46 EST)

This book does a great job of taking its reader from the most basic features of asp.net to the relatively complicated concepts and it does so without boring the reader to death. It's very easy to read and is "not-a-geek" friendly.
However, it does require a good foundation in Visual Basic for maximum results. Also, be prepared to spend a lot of time in it, after all it's over 800 pages long. (Review Data Last Updated: 2006-07-11 04:03:24 EST)

This book is really misleading. If you expect to learn how to do web programming from this book, forget it!!! At best this is a decent reference book. This is not one of those how-to-do books. The examples are short, and this book has no step-by-step lessons for learning. You will not be able to teach yourself ASP.Net programming from this book.
The only way this book is good is as a supplemental textbook in a class with a teacher going through the material. If this book had sections for step-by-step self-teaching, then this book would be good. This book is sorely lacking in that area. The cover says this book is for training. That is very misleading. If you need to purchase a book to teach yourself how to do ASP.Net programming, do NOT buy this book! (Review Data Last Updated: 2006-07-11 04:03:24 EST)

This book is more for a beginner and it teaches you the essentials of ASP.NET before you could start thinking of learning the advanced concepts in ASP.NET. I'm just like a starter with some basics on VB.NET and ADO.NET and this book was really helpful to me and very quickly I was able to develop my own ASP.NET applications.
As I said before this book assumes that you have a basic knowlede on VB.NET. If you lack in that then this book is not for you... I gave this 5 stars because it imparted what I expected. Hope that this review was helpful. (Review Data Last Updated: 2006-07-11 04:03:24 EST)

I purchased based on the reviews here and now realize they must be paid reviews. So much talk about another Murach hit, and 'This book continues the Murach tradition'. What a bunch of baloney. This is a decent reference book - thats it. Don't purchase thinking you'll learn to actually build something beyond the most simple site. A fair reference but 'Easy to read, using the "paired pages" format' that every review raves about is not as good as having an actual excercise to follow. Bottom line - do you want to read 800 pages or do you want excercises that will lead you through the process of building a site?

There is a lot of information in this 841 page book. It is broken into five sections starting with basic ASP concepts and finishing with web services and reuseable code. Easy to read, using the "paired pages" format: How-to on the left page and examples on the right.
This book continues the Murach tradition of good publications for the computer professional. (Review Data Last Updated: 2006-06-05 10:45:52 EST)

Another hit from Mike Murach & Associates, this book by Boehm & Lowe is very well-written and includes quite a lot of material.
The book follows the typical and very effective Murach style of a left-hand page of explanatory text on a specific concept and a right-hand page of code and/or illustration that is linked to the text on the facing page. I find this sort of presentation really helps me focus on the current topic. Also, eliminating the necessity of page-turning to find an accompanying example makes for a better learning experience. The book is suitable for a programmer who is just getting into .Net development. It will also be useful for more experienced .Net programmers migrating from .Net 1.x, as it includes a lot of new material specific to .Net 2.0. The chapters on security and profiles are especially welcome. Coverage of ADO.Net 2.0 and interfacing it with web controls is very good for beginners. Advanced users will find it a little thin in terms of being able to solve some common issues - like drop-down list controls inside a grid control. But to be fair, most of the other books I've seen don't cover this either. The authors were highly selective in what they included. For example, you don't have to wade through 300 pages of "what is a form" and "what is an event" before you get to useful information. Even so, the book runs to about 800 pages, or about 45% "heavier" than Murach's equivalent 1st-generation book, "Murach's VB.NET Database Programming with ADO.NET". This is understandable because there is a lot of new functionality in .Net 2.0 that they had to cover. I might have liked to see a chapter or two on how to create and use Classes in VB 2005, but that would have likely added another 200 pages, so I can understand the omission. The bottom line is that it's $52.50 list price (and much less from Amazon and elsewhere), this book is money well spent. If you're just starting out with ASP.Net, definitely go for this book. If you are a more advanced .Net developer, at least give it a look - it may also be very worthwhile for you. (Review Data Last Updated: 2006-07-07 08:35:34 EST)

Murach's ASP.NET 2.0 Programming With VB 2005 deftly co-authored by computer experts Anne Boehm and Doug Lowe provides a expansive reference and guide for the 2.0 version of ASP.NET programming software. Presented in an easy-to-use format, Murach's ASP.NET 2.0 Programming With VB 2005 educates readers with paired pages so developers may set their own pace when reading, complete applications and their interacting components, teaches the development of the way modern programmers should be using Visual Studio, and consists of an exclusive five chapter section on database programming. Murach's ASP.NET 2.0 Programming With VB 2005 is very highly recommended for all users of any full edition of Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 or the Visual Web Developer Express Edition or for any aspiring web designer/programmer searching for a greater understanding of the software before purchase.

If you're even thinking about this book, you have an interest in or a project to do regarding connecting a database to a web site. This could be something simple like putting in a guest book, or more complex like a full fledged store. ASP.NET is Microsoft's vision of how this should be done (using purely Microsoft products of course).
The Microsoft products used in the ASP.NET approach include the operating system (Windows - possibly XP Professional, more likely Windows Server), Internet Information Service (the web server), Visual Studio (the integrated development environment that includes Bisual Basic), and the database (probably SQL Server). The book covers these software products. It uses the Murach two-page presentation where the left hand page gives a text description of an issue, and the right hand side a more visual description of the same issue. I happen to like this format a great deal. One page tends to say the same thing in a different way. Sometimes one way is preferred, sometimes the other. If you're serious about this subject, I think you also will need a book on the SQL language for the particular database you will be using. SQL is a programming language all by itself. If you just use ASP, you will be tempted to do things in ASP that would be better done in a more comples SQL statement. A great book, not for the total computer novice, but if you're planning a web site .... (Review Data Last Updated: 2006-06-05 10:45:52 EST)

This book is excellent for beginners and for experienced ASP.NET developers who can use this book as a valuable reference for their day to day programming needs.
I am using this book, along with Murach's ASP.NET 2.0 upgrader's guide to upgrade my current applications to version 2.0. (Review Data Last Updated: 2006-07-07 08:35:34 EST)

I purchased this book after reading the excellent reviews. I have decent html knowledge, and some limited asp 3.0 skills. I wanted to start using asp.net 2.0 and Visual Studio 2005. I found myself quite confused with the first one page project in the book. This was because the project is presented as if the reader already has VB 2005 experience. I found similar reviews to Murach's ASP.net 1.1 web programming book. If you are looking for entry level use of VS 2005 with ASP.net this unfortunately is not it. I was hoping to see explanations of different controls in the toolboxes, etc. I will keep this for future reference and keep searching for a good beginner's book.

As an experienced VB.NET programmer without any formal ASP.NET experience, I was very happy to explore all of the items in this book, particularly the sections regarding the construction of an e-commerce website. Overall it is an excellent book, especially for first timers like me.
Unfortunately some of the basic "tricks" that need to be used when interfacing form controls to databases were not covered, and I had to resort to help on the internet for that. But that is the price one pays for staying up with the latest version of software. Doubtless there are other books that cover this subject in more detail. For those who want a thorough introduction to ASP.NET 2.0, this is a very valuable book, and well worth the money. (Review Data Last Updated: 2006-07-07 08:35:34 EST)

In short: simple and clear explanation, practical code examples, good coverage of ASP.NET 2.0 features, and the paired page presentation format makes the book an easy read.
This is certainly one of the best programming books that I have ever come across. Highly recommended. (Review Data Last Updated: 2006-06-13 11:26:00 EST)

A couple of keywords to describe this book: cohesive (chapter to chapter), concise (To the point,not confusing), meticulous (superior teaching technique -no holes barred, just couldn't be better). This is by far the best book I've purchased with regards to ASP.NET 2.0 and VB.NET. It certainly was a pleasurable read!
