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.

"True to the "Developer's Notebook" format, you are immersed into the content with very thoughtful examples and hands-on labs."
