Beginning ASP.NET 2.0 with C# (Wrox Beginning Guides)

Good Starter
This is a great book for getting started with ASP.Net. Every chapter is filled with codes to try along with the CD to help you out. Does not cover everything but that would be impossible in one book.

Well... It helped for a couple days
This is only a tutorial book. If you are looking for something that you can use as reference look elsewhere. The projects are somewhat disorganized and it leaves you jumping back and forth. If you are a true beginner this will bring you up to speed with the ASP.NET architecture but that's it. It seems like they wasted at least 150 pages on simple controls that could have been covered in less ...

Professional ColdFusion 5.0

Wrox Press, 2001

A must have for all CF'ers...
Being a ColdFusion user group president, I give this book my seal of approval. This book is well written with easy to understand examples. It will help someone with no CF knowledge all the way to the experts. This book is well laid out and is enjoyable to read. I didn't know what to expect from Wrox on this. I have been a huge Ben Forta fan but this book is just as good as his (if not ...

Wrox, 2002

Best Beginner's Book
Not having written code in 6 years, this book was the perfect coding refresher and ASP.NET primer. After sifted through a dozen titles, I finally settled down and worked through this ASP.NET text cover to cover. It was the only book that didn't have gaps in explaning fundamental concepts and C# syntax. As someone who programmed in java a lifetime ago and who has not had much web development ...

Programming Microsoft .NET XML Web Services (Pro-Developer)

2 reviews

Microsoft Press, 2003

Worst book on .net web services ever
This is a total disaster. The authors don't know how to present material for readers to understand. Examples are half cooked and mixed up between soap 1.1 and soap 1.2.

Beginning Ajax (Programmer to Programmer)

Wrox, 2007

About the exact opposite you'd expect for a "Beginner's" book
For a book aimed at those learning a new programming technique, the book commits the cardinal sin...bad code. The code errors are rampant; sometimes blatant, sometimes not, but occur often enough that trying to follow the examples becomes a technique in frustration rather than learning. It would be fine if the exersizes were in code examination or forensics but it is intended as a beginner's ...

Wrox, 2000

Excellent book for bringing you up to speed
Prior to purchasing this book I had no experience with ASP whatsoever. One day at work I was told that I needed to study up on ASP, and fast. I didn't really know where to start, but I ended up with this book, and it has been a lifesaver. I took the time to work through the examples in a select few key chapters, and was amazed that after only a couple of days I had developed the skills ...

Usable Forms for the Web

5 reviews
Jon Stephens, Andy Beaumont, ...

A-Press, 2003

Vendor-independent and full of valuable code & ideas
Intermediate web developers will find the collection of forms in this book to be an invaluable library, and the tutorial on the techniques behind the forms well written and sure to increase both skills and knowledge. Chapter 1 starts off with the basics of HTML forms. While nothing in this section is likely to be new to intermediate developers, the next chapter, which covers form design, gives a ...

Wrox, 2004

An Excellent Book - But There Are Caveats
I have always been happy with the Wrox series, and this one is no exception. The book starts out explaining about .net and getting you up and running with some "Hello World!" stuff and basic controls on a webpage. It then goes into various datatypes and describes some of the fun data structures built into .net and some basic stuff on how to use them. It then explains some basic c# functionality, ...

Beginning ASP.NET Using VB.NET

Wrox Press, 2001

Helpful introduction to web building using .NET
Beginning ASP.NET using VB.NET by Wrox is a very helpful introduction to web building using the .NET technology. I have been building web sites using standard ASP for 5 years. I am finding this book (I'm half way through it) to be a great place to start moving on to ASP.NET. It is easy to read. New technical concepts are explained without the authors trying to impress you with techno-babble. ...

Wrox Press, 1998

Must Read
If you are a beginner, or simply need a refresher course on ASP this is the book for you. The authors give straight forward examples that effectively bring the power of ASP to you. WROX has established itself as a force to be reckoned with in recent years. I wish all of their books were only half as good as this one.

HTML 4.01 Programmer's Reference

Wrox Press, 2001

I am surprised no one has yet post a review for this one....
Honestly, I just got the book today. But guess what, I've been glued to my desk for 5 hours by now... First of all, if you know what it feels like to have ALL of your questions answered regarding the webpage you're working on then you know how I feel right now. This book is every bit competent as it was written to be - an html "reference." I am no newbie in html but still, I like how the ...

Introducing .NET

James Conard, Patrick Dengler, ...

Wrox Press, 2001

For .NET newbies
This book is exactly what it says it is. It is an Intorduction to the .NET. It does not go in depth, however it shines some light on the .NET in general. If you are a COM/DCOM developer and you would like to find out what .NET is all about, this book is definately for you. If you already know what .NET is about, then look for a more in depth per each subject books. I rate it with 5 stars since it ...

Fundamental Web Design and Development Skills

2 reviews
Rachel Andrew, Chris Ullman, ...

A-Press, 2003

Excellent introductory material
Glasshaus has a new book for anyone looking to get involved in web development, and learn the best ways to go about things from the outset. In this book we see an admirable dedication to sticking to the modern standards of XHTML 1.0, HTML 4.01 and CSS; with little space wasted on discussing the common methods that forward-looking web designers are trying to distance themselves from. While this ...

Wrox, 2002

Excellent book for introductory ASP.Net 1.0
I have read almost all the chapters of this book. I have been programming with intermediate ASP for past 5 years. The reason I picked up the book was for the easy transition from ASP to ASP.Net and this book help me do that. The book explains ASP.Net 1.0 at the novice level. For serious developers this book can serve as an introductory book for ASP.Net. I have now moved on to Professional ASP.Net ...

Beginning PHP4 (Programmer to Programmer)

Wankyu Choi, Allan Kent, ...

Wrox, 2000

I went from Zero to Expert and this book was a big help
I like this book and highly recommend it. It is good for people who are new to PHP but not so good for people who are new to programming. I've done a lot of programming in other languages and needed to learn PHP in a big hurry for a project that I was about to take on. This book got me up to speed fast. I'm inclined to think that a lot of the negative reviews are from people without any ...

Wrox, 2004

Great Way to Come up to speed on VB.Net
Not sure why some folks say the title is misleading, the book indeed is specifically geared towards the beginning ASP.NET/VB.NET developer. No where does it mention learnig VB Studio. In fact I have VB studio, but I downloaded the Web Matrix software (free from MS) and I find it very easy to use and a good development environment. I found the book to be very accurate and moves along at a very ...

Instant HTML Programmer's Reference Html

Peer Information Inc., 1997

Fantastic capsule HTML book!
Of course, this is dated already, but if you are doing plain vanilla HTML, this is the most perfect HTML guide I've come across, and I have many. Even 3 years after it was published, when I need to look something up, this is the book that comes off the shelf first, and usually the only book that needs t come off the shelf. Which is amazing, considering how small the thing is, too. It's not the ...
