Excellent applications

The book has excellent applications for use in everyday problems where I work. I have used many of them in my re-design of my company's website. I only wish there was a better message board application, but that is only a small issue compared with all of the other great code contained inside.Thanks for a great book, Greg. I am waiting on Instant ASP.NET version 2!

Good Examples !! and very well defined.

This is the book you need not only deploy apps quickly, but also to learn the .NET language more efficiently. I also own other books by Greg, Instant ASP Components (A Very Nice Book). The examples within this book (Instant ASP.NET applications) are well written and easy to tailor to your own applications needs.

Need to write code today? This is the book...

I own copies of several of Greg's previous books for one reason. He writes about creating applications NOW and he writes in a style that I find very friendly and accomodating; that is, he doesn't assume that I know everything about the product and related software before I read the book. This book is full of good examples that can be used - as you are writing code. The examples are well-developed and easily adaptable to other types of applications. The information presented is very readable. Thanks for another great book, Greg! You're actually helping me get my job done - and I need that!

Invaluable ASP.NET resource

This is the fourth "Instant ASP" book (others being Instant ASP Scripts, ASP Components and the ASP Developers Guide) that I have purchased by the author Greg Buczek. I find that each book is invaluable in my application development and as a reference source. If you want to get into the nuts and bolts of how ASP.NET works, then buy a WROX book. If you want instant code to build your ASP.NET applications quickly, this is the book.It gives plenty of examples and sample code that works. As a lot of the code is repetitive (e.g. making the connection to a data source, using the data grid, or the calendar control, etc.), it really drives home the concepts and helps in understand how ASP.NET works. I am sure that Greg may not like me telling this but he actually responses to emailed questions sent to him about his code. I have built many full blown application using sample code in Greg's "Instant" books. Now I can build them using ASP.NET.

Got me going very fast!

I had an ASP.NET application that I needed to get going quick. I knew a little about ASP but nothing about ASP.NET. This book, through its numerous examples showed me how to create excellent ASP.NET applications.The author shows you how to use ASP.NET through sample applications that really work! His coverage on the vast ASP.NET controls and database connectivity was outstanding.Thank you Mr. Buczek!
