Pro ASP.NET 2.0 in C# 2005 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is problably the first 2.0-specific book to hit store shelves. I'm currently building with Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2. AFAIK this build has the final major changes. The book seems to be written for the final VS release. In ohter words, I have not found any outdated examples yet in my reading.
I got this book last week and I'm very pleased with it. I jumped ahead straight to the Membership and Profile sections. There are *several* chapters on this! I'm very impressed so far with their teaching abilities and I appreciate the fact that they give full examples. First the authors cover how to use ASP.NET 2.0's shrinkwrapped solution. Then they give detailed information on how to implement your own custom providers for Memebership and Roles. This is fantastic because at the time of this review, I had not found any complete examples on how to do this.
So far this book hs a great reference and help to me. It's over 1,000 pages but nothing of what I've seen appears to be "fluff". Nice job! I would definitely recommend this ASP.NET/C# programmers. I think beginners can follow it and advanced users will like the solid 2.0 coverage.

ASP.NET 2.0 is the latest version of Microsoft's current ASP.NET 1.1 technology. ASP.NET 1.1 is fast becoming the accepted technology standard for creating dynamic web pages on the Windows platform, and is now used across the board from start-ups to blue-chip multi-national corporations. ASP.NET 2.0 is building on this solid foundation and adding new improvements. The new technology will be faster to code, offer a more powerful set of tools (i.e. MasterPages and Generics), and run faster when deployed, so that customers enjoy a significantly better user experience.Pro ASP.NET 2.0 in C# follows the well-regarded Pro ASP.NET 1.1, rooted in the same best-practices and pragmatic style. Matthew MacDonald explains how ASP.NET 2.0 works for the professional programmer - covering both new innovations and the features carried over from the previous version. And while new features are important, MacDonald stresses the importance of the technology as a cohesive whole. His broad-based approach shows how all of the features inter-relate. This gives readers the solid understanding they need to code real applications.
