This book is aimed at the entry level ASP.NET developer. It does a decent job of covering the technology and discussing the various components required from the server, IIS, and browser perspective. The emphasis of the book is on the How-To and not on the why or theory behind the how. If you are a hard core .NET developer, this book is not for you. However, if you are new to ASP.NET you might find this approach useful.
The book is broken up into 24 one hour chapters. Each hour includes the text of the chapter, a summary, a Q&A, and a workshop which has quizzes with answers and exercises. This is an excellent format for the active learner.
This book includes the usual short overview of what the database is and explains some basic concepts. Because of this, the book is best for someone who already has some database and object oriented programming background, or will be getting this information elsewhere. This book gives you just enough database information to hit the ground running with the basics of ASP.NET.
This book puts very little emphasis on writing code. Most of it shows how to work with the numerous controls available in ASP.NET. You will learn how to collect information from users and save it to the database. The fact that this takes little code is a testament to how Microsoft wrote Visual Studio 2005 and ASP.NET so that new developers can quickly develop simple applications with very little code.
