Book rating: 4Perfect for[...]

Being a Java and PHP developer with nearly ten years experience, and having read two other books about the C# language itself, I have chosen this book as an introduction to ASP.NET.

Surely it is not the all-in-one perfect book for any programmers, moreover it must be very basic for an advanced ASP.NET developer, but for me it seems to be a perfect choice. It gives a fast overview of the philosophy and the most important aspects of ASP.NET, and therefore it is an ideal book for any experienced programmers who switch from any other technologies to .NET, and want to get a rough (and very fast) overview of this huge area.

Book rating: 4Good for practical use

It's a good fast read. Introduce the main selling points of .NET without the boring talk. Code sample and walk through of Visual Studio is an effective way of teaching most engineers with some experiences. I would agree that it may be a difficult read for the very beginners. Anyone with a couple of years experience in web development should feel fine with it.

Book rating: 4Good beginning ASP.NET 3.5 reference - not for advanced programming.

This was a very good introduction to ASP.NET 3.5, but is not in-depth enough for the MCTS exam. From what I hear, Programming ASP.NET 3.5 (also from Microsoft Press) is more thorough.
