ASP.NET Website Programming: Problem - Design - Solution C# Edition

42 reviews
Marco Bellinaso, Kevin Hoffman

Peer Information Inc. Wrox, 2002

This book has got me writing a lot of code
This is definitely one of my favorite books. I've read it cover to cover and I'm constantly going back to use the examples as patterns for building web sites and modules. This is an excellent book for intermediate programmers. I read Beginning Visual C# first, and then skipped around through several ASP.NET books. I really can't say enough good things about this book. It's the best ...

Fast Track ASP.NET
I purchased this book and Fast Track C# together and I was not disappointed with either book. Pros: The Fast Track C# book is targeted to Java and C++ developers making the transition to C# and the Fast Track ASP.Net C# Edition is targeted to ASP 3.0 programmers making the transition to ASP.Net. Even though I have limited ASP 3.0 experience, the book was easy to follow and I did not feel lost. ...

Excellent
I see that most of the complaints are about there not being any vb code. Granted, that is a reasonable complaint, but this book covered so much that other books haven't touched! I am amazed at how much I have learned from this book! I am finally excited about .NET instead of dazed and confused! Even if you know the general stuff, you need this book. I learned how to do things that I didn't ...

Microsoft Visual C# .NET 2003 Unleashed

4 reviews
Kevin Hoffman, Lonny Kruger

Sams, 2005

well integrated language
It is no accident that the authors start off the book with a chapter on Visual Studio. A persistent theme in the book is how it is more than just about C# as a language. The authors suggest [strongly] that a key advantage about the language is its extensive integration with .NET and the ease of coding. For the latter, the book gives a brief tour of Visual Studio highlights. Like the ability to ...

Wrox Press, 2002

now in VB.NET - and for version 1
I reviewed the orginal version of this book which was in C#. I've been lucky enought ot get my hands on the new VB.NET edition and it is even better than the original. I am more used to VB as it is, and I spent quite a lot of time translating some of the code snippets in the original, but now I don't have to! The book has changed a bit, it looks better than the first edition, and it is now ...

ASP.NET E-Commerce Programming: Problem - Design - Solution

Kevin Hoffman

Wrox Press, 2003

This is a developers methodology book, not a programming "how-to".
This book is a 5-star book in its methodology and clever software development. If you are looking for an "how-to" book in a shooping cart this book is way over your head, and will have a massive learning curve. The book is made to be read from cover to cover to fully get the value of it (if you skip the chapter on CMP,or example, you are just wasting yout time after). The first cool thing about ...

An excellent step-by-step guide to playground safety
This paperback is an excellent step-by-step guide to controlling a significant liability concern for any organization with public playgrounds.

Microsoft Visual C# 2005 Unleashed

4 reviews
Kevin Hoffman

Sams, 2006

integrate C# with other Microsoft products
Hoffman's book is not so much about teaching the basics of C#. But more about the support infrastructure that Microsoft has built about it. What it terms the .NET Framework. To be sure, some early chapters discuss what is inherently in C#, like the syntax of conditional statements or of string manipulation. The former is essentially what you could have read in a Fortran text of the late 60s. The ...

Professional ADO.NET with VB.NET

2 reviews
Paul Dickinson, Fabio Claudio Ferracchiati, ...

Peer Information, 2002

Comprehensive Coverage
This book is typical Wrox: it offers a comprehensive coverage of the subject in a very easy to follow fashion. It starts with several chapters covering the core ADO.NET classes - DataReaders, DataAdapters, DataSets. As the ADO.NET DataSet is a class with very rich features, this book discusses each facet of it - from the ADO Recordset-like generic disconnected in-memory data presentation with ...

Pro ADO.NET with VB .NET 1.1

5 reviews
Paul Dickinson, Fabio Claudio Ferracchiati, ...

Apress, 2004

Too good for words but I'll try
As many of you probably have figured out, ADO.NET is probably my favorite piece of the .NET Framework. While many other facets of the framework were improvements over past paradigms, ADO.NET was unquestionably a 'differen't technology. Well, until now, I thought there were two must have books on ADO.NET, David Sceppa's ADO.NET Core Reference and Bill Vaughn's ADO.NET & ADO Examples and Best ...

Fast Track ADO.NET

Peer Information Inc., 2002

ADO.NET book that really fulfil what it promise
I like this book and recommend it. Of course, there is no lack of ADO.NET titles on market, but if you looking for concise and practical ADO.NET guide and ask me, then I recommend you pick this one. Why? It is concise. You are no required to read about thousand pages to gain some useful knowledge. It is valuable. Just carefully explained essential concepts, information, and techniques. No ...

C# Programming Evolution

6 reviews
Kevin Hoffman

Sams, 2004

A case study
You can consider this book as a case study, where Hoffman has chosen to show how to develop an example application. This constitutes the backbone of the book. The application touches upon many real life development issues. Like building in security, or hooking the application to a back end database. (Microsoft's SQL Server is used in the book, unsurprisingly.) Enough code is shown for you to use ...

Visual Basic .NET Deployment Handbook

3 reviews
Billy Hollis, Fabio Claudio Ferracchiati, ...

Peer Information Inc., 2002

Finally, some useful content!
If this book is a typical example of the new Wrox "Handbook" style books, then I look forward to seeing more of them. While this "Handbook" is considerable smaller (just under 300 pages) than many of the technical books I have purchased over the years, it is much more densely filled with useful content. By the time you've read the first 100 pages, the authors have walked you through the basics, ...

Professional .NET Framework

6 reviews
Kevin Hoffman, Jeffrey Hasan, ...

Wrox Press, 2001

Good collection of material over a broad subject
What is .NET? How can you work with .NET? Why would you switch to .NET? There are a lot of questions that we could ask about .NET that aren't easy to ask. .NET is very broad, and thus, Wrox brought together some of their best authors together so that they share what they knew best about .NET. This book WILL provide the information you need to learn about the new things in .NET. Remember the ...

Kevin Hoffman, Robert Foster

Sams, 2007

A Book that developers need!!!
I've been looking for a book for SharePoint developers and until finding this book I hadn't found any. Everything on the market is for administrators or really basic programming tasks. This book covers everything from Web Parts to Web Services to the BDC. It's a one-stop shop for all the coding tasks you'll need as a MOSS programmer. Regarding the bad reviews earlier, did you guys even read ...
