Outstanding Resource!, August 24 2006





I have this book on my desk all the time! It is written with the developer in mind. No fluff, just stright to the point coding examples. I would recommend this to anyone that can program and needs a little help moving the asp.net.
Great Job Mr. Lee!

This book rocks. It's definately written in a developers perspective.
a real developer's notebook, good job., August 24 2005





I read this book and it was one of the best books i've read in a while.
The author goes to the point in very easy and simple steps.
Pros:
1. straight to the point
2. good explanations
3. paragraphs are not boring
4. hands-on labs are straightforward, never get lost.
Cons:
1. some users, when they debug a web application, are asked for a username and a password for the local server, the author didn't mention anything about this. The problem is, if you don't expect this to happen, you will get confused as of how to get pass this authorization.
The book assumes previous knowlegde of ASP.NET 1.0/1.1 and Visual Studio.NET, however, I didn't have experience with ASP.NET before (i programmed with VB.NET 2003) and I had no problem following the book. (or at least a few problems that i could figure out easily, using pure logic)
I would definately recommend this book to any web developer who wants to develop feature-rich websites.
Media reviews
"...there are a lot of books that make it so that you have to do all the exercises in sequence to get the examples to work but with the OReilly books you can go straight to the chapter you want to work on and go right to it...OReilly has the right stuff when it comes to real life work to get done."
-- Steven Mullins, Huntsville New Technology Users Group (HuNTUG)
"True to the "Developer's Notebook" format, you are immersed into the content with very thoughtful examples and hands-on labs...Wei-Meng Lee has put together a very compelling Developer's Notebook. The coverage is very complete, and the examples are interesting as well. I really enjoyed sitting down in front of my computer with this book and working through each of the exercises. This is a very good text and is extremely valuable in reviewing the features available in ASP.NET 2.0."
-- Blair Kennedy, Amazon.com
"One thing I really enjoyed about this book is the organization. I'm a professional ASP.NET developer, there are things I like about ASP.NET and things I dislike about it. Lee did an excellent job covering a lot of the new and exciting features of ASP.NET right up front, which builds the readers enthusiasm for the rest of the book. Finally I can set focus on a control! Finally I can cross-post forms! Finally I can control visual inheritance! Sure these issues may not be all that important, but they're things current ASP.NET developers have been clamoring for, and they keep the reader engaged through the material... This book is a must read if you're planning on migrating to the new version of the .NET framework."
--"ueberhund," Amazon.com review, July 2005
"Wei-meng Lee's new book manages to cover a lot of ground in a concise, readable manner. If you're already developing with ASP.NET 1.x and preparing to migrate to version 2.0, ASP.NET 2.0: A Developer's Notebook gives you complete information forassessing ASP.NET 2.0 and making the most of it. "
