Great ecommerce introduction... bad code

Like others already said, the sample site doesn't work very well. That's why i substract one star from this book. On the other hand, this book introduced me to many concepts about ecommerce sites and how to implement them. You can see what the authors did and then code yourself the solution... you WILL have to even if you do not want to... because like i said before, the site doesn't work at first hand. A must have if you are getting into the web development industry... specially if you are going to work with e-commerce sites.

Building e-Commerce Sites with the .NET Framework

This book has alot of good information for those looking to get started building feature rich e-commerce sites with ASP.NET, and Visual Studio.NET. This is not the book to start with for learning ASP.NET though, as some areas are slightly difficult to follow. Overall, a great book.

Good book

There is alot of ground covered in this short book. Although obviously not for a beginner, this book shows you what it takes to build an e-commerce site with C# and ASP.NET. If you prefer to learn by example, this is the book for you.

Building e-Commerce Sites with the .NET Framework

It is one of the best ASP.NET books I read so far both in terms of examples and in terms of the quantity/quality of the information communicated. A very good book.Davide Consonni

Very Beneficial

Ouch! The previous review was tough. My experience is a little different. As a Technical Lead it's my job to get a jump start on the .Net technologies and this book is a good example of a working browser-based application. Is it terrifically written? Not really. Are some examples hard to understand? Yes. That being said, I now have spent 2 weeks with the book, and after studying hard and working with the examples, I feel comfortable that I could write a complete browser-based application in C#. That is what I expected from this book. Now, this book is not for beginners so be forewarned. Buy some simpler "Teach Me" books first and get acquainted with C# and ASP.net and then buy this book to get your hands dirty with a real application.
