I'm a PHP coder since 6 years now and I guess I'll switch to .NET soon... Because, this book not only shows you the theory behind the concepts, but the examples come from the "real world". Not kiddy script... It's not an extra book in my collection but a tool I'll use everyday. It's like having an encyclopedia in your hands for a cheap price. Furthermore, the writing style is very good and this book needs to be read...</p> I must admit that the chapters are amazing.

I’m very glad it does just show the code, makes it far more accessible to all :)

On the editor front, what about SharpDevelop? http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/Default.aspx

Times I’ve played with it, been impressed and it’s on it 0.99 release.

The problem with going the VS.NET or Web Matrix approach is that now not only do you have to go over installation of .NET, IIS, MSDE, Access, etc. but you also have to go over Web Matrix or VS.NET. In my opinion it would have made for a longer book where the reader is left feeling like "Man, I have to learn all this software before I even get started using ASP.NET." Notepad got the nod because of its ease of use and let's face it, who doesn't know how to use it?</p> We could of also used Web Matrix.
