Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I recently finished this book and feel so much better about the subject. I was a classic ASP programmer and took a couple of years off from programming. When I returned, I downloaded Visual Web Developer 2008 and was lost. I was used to programming in Notepad, and all this click and drag stuff was foreign to me.After reading this book, I realized that things that took me hours to do in classic ASP, now only take minutes. The book is well organized, adds lots of humor and reads well from cover to cover. It is also a nice reference, and most of the chapters are set up so that if you want to skip forward a bit (which I did here and there), you aren’t lost.I really liked the sections on LINQ and site security. Ken Cox explains these subjects like butter: nice and smooth! This is a great guide for anyone interested in the subject. I have a very complex project that I am working on, and I feel comfortable moving forward with the project after reading this book.

⭐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.

⭐I want to add ASP.NET to my skill set and I am glad I got this book, the reading is easy to follow and examples clear.Perhaps though the language could have been emphasized in the title as ‘With VB.NET’. The books site has code examples in VB.NET and C# which is great. The examples in LINQ I found easy to follow. I would recommend this book for anyone wanting to get their feet wet in ASP.NET – with VB.NET of course.

⭐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.

⭐I picked this up to supplement a terrible textbook for my ASP.NET class. Though it doesn’t say this in the Amazon synopsis or even on the back of the book, I should’ve guessed just from the fact that it’s a For Dummies book–all the examples are in Visual Basic. I have a lot of confidence in the For Dummies series and I’m sure it’s a great reference, but it was useless to me because my class was taught entirely in C#.

⭐This is an excellent and enjoyable text for getting up to speed on ASP.NET 3.5. This step-by-step guide has numerous examples in VB (and C# versions on the author’s site) that allows one to get practical exposure to the most current version of the ASP.NET technology. The book is well suited for both the beginner and anyone who has worked extensively with earlier versions of ASP.NET and needs a primer for getting up to speed on the ASP.NET 3.5 technology. Finally, the author Ken Cox is very responsive to questions regarding the examples shown in his book (he responded to my Email within a couple of hours). It is refreshing to see an author that takes so much pride in his work and produces such a fine, well written text.

⭐The book gets off to a good start, but then becomes confusing. I seldom knew if I were working on the same project, starting a new one or what? The author Ken Cox will explain some steps in detail and then completely assume you know something elsewhere. I finally bogged down in the Linq section, which is near the front of the book. I will continue to try to comprehend his instructions. To me, this isn’t a book for dummies. I am now supplementing it with the Beginning ASP.Net by Wrox. Maybe that will help.

⭐Perfect! Thank you!
