JScript .NET and more!

I bought this book looking for information on the new features JScript .NET since I need to migrate my company's site to ASP .NET. This book covers all of the new features in the language and provides lots of examples that show how to use them. The author also covers migrating a sample site from ASP to ASP .NET and goes an extra mile by demonstrating how to migrate from using ADO to ADO.NET. XML is integrated into all aspects of the .NET Framework - I was glad to see that the author discusses XML throughout the book, provides an appendix called 'XML Primer', and also discusses using XML with the new ADO .NET DataSet object (sort of like an always disconnected ADO Recordset object) within a Windows service written in JScript .NET. Since JScript .NET is now fully object oriented, there are three chapters that cover Object oriented design and analysis. The author uses UML (the Unified Modeling Language) throughout the discussions, and provides two very useful appendices: UML Notation which describes elements of UML diagrams, and ' Translating from UML to JScript.NET Code' which shows how easy it is to convert a UML diagram into functioning JScript .NET code.The book is well thought out and the samples are very practical. I recommend this book to developers with some programming background - even casual programming. Part two of the book, covered in five chapters, is a JScript primer for those that aren't familiar with the language. This book works well as a reference and it covers more than just programming using the JScript .NET language in enough detail to be as useful as three books in one!
