Great! All you need to know to start with asp.net programming

I think this is a great book for entering ASP.NET programmming if you come from the old asp world.

Make this your first ASP.NET book

I bought Essential ASP.NET by Fritz Onion before this one but it was a little hard to follow at first - also, it deals more with ASP.NET architecture and internals and isn't so practical if you have to start building ASP.NET applications right away. I assure you this one can get you started in 2 to 3 days if you...

Very Good asp.net using C# book

The book is well-written and thought out overall; it delivers a great balance between covering key topics, while giving relevant, real-world examples. The first 5 chapters cover the basics of asp.net, very easy to understand even for a novice programmer, while the latter 5 get into more advanced topics such as building an e-commerce site, web services, and debugging and does require a deeper grasp of other programming concepts,...

slim fast core grasp of ASP.NET with C#

I knew Java and ASP for several months, and I had to do ASP.NET with C# at work. This is my first and only DOT NET book so far. This slim book got me into working on ASP.NET quickly. This is NOT for the BEGINNING Programmers like college freshmen. It doesn't teach you C# but since I knew Java, it was perfectly ok. If you have experience in OOP like JAVA and Serverside Web scripting like ASP, you would find this book get you...
