Description:This books is obsolete as of today (2007). It consists of code snips in C#, but no complete examples. Like another reviewer wrote, nothing works after the first "hello world" sample. If you already know ASP.NET, I suppose this book is somewhat useful, but the book is verbose; why spend a whole chapter (Chap. 2) on Visual Studio 2005? If the purpose of the book was a "how to", showing step by step how to build an ASP.NET project, then I could understand this inclusion, but the book is not a "how to" (other than a trivial example, I didn't find a single complete "how to" in the entire 1300 page book).
Avoid like the plague--a complete waste of money and paper.
UPDATE: not as bad as I thought, once I read it.
