What Customers Said About Prior Editions

This book is a must have for any beginner ... one of those rare books that show you side by side both VB.NET and C# for every step you make.

It is exactly what I need to get me up to speed in ASP.NET. The dual language approach is a great touch.

John Haas

Was a brilliant help, my new ASP.NET 2 site is on its way to completion with the help of the very detailed chapters in his book which were easy to follow and cover everything i needed.

Michael Ashdown, United Kingdom

 The thing I value the most is that while it has the casual, accessible style common to many ‘introductory’ books, unlike those books it also has depth and substance. It tackles ‘Real World’ rather than "Hello World" tasks.

I’m still using it as a reference book long after I would have abandoned most other "introductory" books.

David Grieve

An excellent book at unravelling the mysteries behind .Net. Ideal for experienced ASP programmers who want to make the move to .Net; not too simplistic and not too complex...just right."
