C#.Net ?

This is an absolutely fabulous intro to .Net. I do agree with the other readers the title of this book is slightly misleading given that it concentrates only on C#. However the beauty of .Net is that it really doesn't matter what you're coding in, your money will still wind up in Bill's account.What I like about this book is that it starts out with building applications on the command line witch gives the reader a bottom up view of how C# applications work. The reader is then transitioned to web controls. All of the examples shown are practical applications that only a web developer would be interested in so there is no wasted time on the learning curve. This book really doesn't get too deep into the .Net environment or language but it makes a good intro, especially for people like myself who are only interested in the web application side of C#.Another thing that really works for me is the examples are laid out very clearly and the reader sees the code as it actually exists, so there are no difficulties with assembling the examples into a finished product. I am a visual learner and if you are as well you will find that this book's format works well. Less talk...more work. Great book.

Straightforward, Organized, Concise

This is a well written book. As a programmer I find that most books are either cumbersome references (i.e. Microsoft books) or are tutorials for the novice coder.This book combines those two styles into a coherent and easy-to-read reference that gives programmers not only the tools necessary to create robust, flexible applications but the means by which to create them.The authors have experience as programmers, architects, project managers as well as technical trainers. All these facets of their career show up in the style and content of this book. As a programmer on medium- to large-scale projects, I found this book to be very useful.

What Can I Say... He's Danny Ryan!

OK - so Danny is a personal friend of mine, therefore this review will be biased. And since I have not read the book, my review will not help you, the potential buyer.What I can say is this - Danny Ryan is an outstanding individual who's honesty and integrity would lead me to believe this publication is all it says it is. When Danny says "Shows you everything you need to create dynamic Web applications. Arm yourself with detailed coverage of over 100 tasks and other ASP.NET functions. Softcover. CD-ROM included.", you can rest assured that the statement is true. Yes - it is a softcover. Yes - there is a CD-ROM included. And yes - Danny, there is a Santa Claus. He is buying this book for me, right now. So let me get my ASP off this review page and start one-clicking to buy this book! ...Peace,Matt Gardner
