The ONLY book needed for ASP.NET 3.5

Being a Microsoft fanatic I always want to stay on top of things with Microsoft Technologies.I have been reading a couple of books on ASP.NET 3.5. And having seen this book physically and read the book and, I can definitely say that, this is the ONLY book that any ASP.NET developer would want to have on his desk. Loaded with practical advice. Complete. Comprehensive. Cost effective. Definite BUY.

Great Addition for Any Bookshelf

I've got the ASP.NET 2.0 version of this book (both the original and special edition versions) and all of the strengths still hold: It still walks you through all of the common (and some of the uncommon) usage for ASP.NET and provides great examples and code snippets to illustrate points.

An Excellent ASP.NET Book

Bill, Scott and Devin are long-time ASP.NET experts, and the authors of several best selling ASP.NET and .NET books. This latest book is outstanding and provides an excellent end to end resource for almost all things ASP.NET related (UI, AJAX, Data Access, Security, State Management, Deployment, etc). The book is very well organized, with a nice balance of text, code samples, and screen-shots. All code samples are provided...

the complete reference

Scott, Bill and Devin do a phenomenal job of covering evrything in 3.5. This massive book can be read cover-to-cover over a couple of weeks or sit on your desk as a reference. The info from these three is rooted in real-world experience. They cover the technical details as well as the how and why of decisions around developing Rich Internet Applications.

I was skeptical of quanitity vs. Quality approach, but this title is ALL QUALITY!

I basically had some real dread about this book. WROX editors have gotten the wrong people to write books outside of their specialty, and have been downright sloppy as I have pointed out in many other reviews in the past. The new owners are trying hard to only get the best attributes of WROX, not the worse, with mixed results on some of their books I looked at. This book trots out some major players: Scott Hanselman major...
