As usual it is unnecessary to look beyond O'Reilly's titles when looking for quality treatment of any given subject. I found the book to have an excellent signal to noise ratio. Well worth a buy! I particularly liked Scott Mitchell's approach to structured reuse. I thought he presented the topics clearly and with an excellent amount of detail, not the usual trivial examples and manual rehashes we all see too often.


I am fairly new to ASP but had an extensive general programming background and about three years of non ASP releated web development. The book was targeted right at my level, enough background where necessary but it was NOT a beginners book in terms of depth.


I would not hesitate to recommend this book to anyone building or trying to build serious ASP based applications. It is going to be required reading for my team!
