Must Have!!!

Straight to the wound advices, real-world experience and also shows the reasons and alternatives... I'm waiting for the next edition.

A must-read for serious ASP.NET programmers

This book did a pretty good job in showing you different ways to accomplish common, real-world tasks in ASP.NET, and why you should choose one way over the other, based on performance analysis and ease of coding. It's not a tutorial, so you do need to have some preliminary experience with ASP.NET to appreciate these best practices. One thing I especially like about the book is that they authors took the trouble to run each of their code samples through Application Center Test and compare the performance results to draw their conclusions, whereas most other ASP.NET books on the market simply make lame claims. Although it has only 200 pages, there are plenty of things to take home with after reading this awesome title.

A Real Eye Opener

This book is MUST reading for any experienced .NET developer. It's the kind of book that leaves you saying,"Ohhh, now that makes sense". Of all the ASP.NET books in my library, it is the only one that has a chapter on using JavaScript. It is a well written book but developers who have done previous ASP.NET development will get the most out of it.

Required Reading at our Company!

This books clearly explains some of the most ambiguous questions we had about ASP.NET. Jason A. Salas' review nicely summarizes the book and its value.I found so many useful tips that as a supervisor of the web department at our company, I've made it required reading for all of my developers.An Excellent resource for all ASP.NET developers!

Great book for intermediate developers

Couldn't put this book down. Easy to read. Great ideas and great information for learning the do's and dont's of ASP.net development. Wish the whole book was in C# code -- rather than a mix. Great work guys. Loved it.
