Overall good book

There are good chapter about Tracing, code structures, and ADO.net debugging, and lot more. A must have for .Net Web developers. Code examples are in both VB and C#. I wish Author have included more code for COM based debugging.

Great Book

I have spent thousands of dollars on books and classroom training to improve my programming skills. It is very rare that any book or any instructor will spend very much time on the debugging process of the language being taught. For me this leaves a lot of the beginning programmers short on their skills, since debugging is 50% of what you do all day. This book gives you a great start on learning the process of debugging an ASP.Net web application and helps you past some of the gotchas that you WILL fall into.If you are going to develop a ASP.Net web application, I highly endorse this book as required reading!

Awesome

I am a professional web developer and I have spent thousands of dollars on books to stay up to date on my knowledge, and this book is bar far one of the best that I have read yet.This books goes into detail about the gotchas that most other books fail to mention. I highly recomend it!

Good book to learn about gotcha's in ASP.NET

I have to say that even though the book says that its for intermediate to experienced programmers it really should say that it is for beginners to intermediate programmers.I say that because a lot of debugging skills suggested in this book come with experience to advanced programmers. However this book does list a whole bunch of gotcha's when using not just ASP.NET, but also some of the advanced features of ASP.NET like User Controls and Caching, Http Handlers, etc. This books also lists some pitfalls to be aware of when using Serviced Components (COM+). These features would be useful for Beginners or Intermediates but the Advanced developers of ASP.NET would already be familiar with some of the techniques listed like Tracing, Conditional Compiling, writing to the event log etc.I would recommend that if you are new to ASP.NET and have just finished reading a book on ASP.NET, pick this book up next to read about some gotcha's when using ASP.NET

A must-have for writing good applications

This book is very well-done and thought out. It is more than just a reference on how to debug your application, it is also a book on how to write good code! Truly it is a must have! The first chapters go into detail about how to write good code with structured error handling before it goes into how to debug your ASP.NET pages. Useful suggestions on architecture such as not putting business logic in controls are thoughtfully offered. Later on, the authors discuss how to incorporate event logging, how to effectively use conditional compiles, tracing, etc. The book goes into how to debug just about every technology that will be used in ASP.NET- web services, caching, XML, user controls, databound controls, inline components, namespaces, SOAP, streams, SQL (data access), and even COM+ interop. It also offers brief samples of how to use each of these technologies (in order to explain how to do the debugging) which is helpful.
