Description
"In the last 3 years, I have tried to study C# for web programming utilizing books from a number of different publishers, but have always lost my motivation. The books were just not geared toward someone trying to study on their own. Then, I checked out your ASP.NET/C# book from our corporate library. What a fantastic book! It's in such high demand at work this I purchased my own copy." (A developer's comment on the 2.0 edition of Murach s ASP.NET)

Already recognize how to code C# 2008 desktop applications? Then, you're ready to master web programming together with the 3.5 edition of this excellent-selling ASP.NET book from Murach Books.

Customer rating is 3 of 5  Don't purchase if you're new to .net and C#   2009-12-29
By Chris Doyle
I'm new to .net and also C# and I bought this book in hopes to learn the basics as well as more complicated applications as I get further into the book.

But it appears this book assumes you already have experience with both so you feel lost at times. For example, one of the very first exercises says to create a checkout page. It has 7 or so items they want you to do, but don't really give you any tips on how to accomplish them? If you get stuck you have no where to go, to look for help on the exercise. It wants you to add code to your pages, but I have no idea what the code will be!

As I've been reading this book, I feel like I jumped into an already started project and being asked to complete someone else work, and not sure how to do it.

Customer rating is 3 of 5  it's ok   2009-12-02
By Jonathan Steinmann (TAMPA, FL USA)
it's a good book, don't get me wrong, but it felt really disjointed. normally these kinds of books follow a website constructed from start to finish, illustrating code and practices a long the way. this book, however, felt like I got thrown into the middle of a project that was half finished, and in my opinion it used theory as a filler rather then move from example to example as you would build a website. anyone starting out with C#... this isn't the book for you. It's well written, but for a specific audience.
Customer rating is 3 of 5  Doesn't cover ASP.NET in detail   2009-11-16
By J. Baig
Though I am a big fan of Murach's programming books, they are certainly the best ones to give you a good start and are useful in the real world programming. However, same cannot be said about their ASP.NET title, it tries to cover too many things and in the process doesn't cover them well. Through the book I get feel as the author is mentioning what are the tools of ASP.NET but doesn't show how to use them properly. It is a good book to get a quick enough knowledge about ASP.NET but I would recommend if you are planning to do this professionally, also get the Apress Title by Mathew McDonald and Programming ASP.NET by Jesse Liberty. Or if you have only $30 to spend on a book and you are a beginner,then go with the Apress one.
Customer rating is 4 of 5  Quick Start to ASP.NET 3.5   2009-11-11
By Frank Altomonte (Los Angeles, CA)
This book delivers what the author claims: to get you up and running with ASP.NET 3.5 in as short a time as possible. After the 4th chapter you know who to build simple apps.
Customer rating is 4 of 5  Just What I Expect From Murach.....   2009-10-26
By Khnemibre (South Orange, NJ)
I've been using Murach books from as far back as my mainframe days, and this book fulfills what I require in a technical how-to book in both standard and character.

This book is practical in that it systematically and progressively guides you along every phase required to develop a fully working ASP.NET application. The book is excellent at instructing you on WHAT you need to know, and for the most part WHY you need to know it and it actually shows you HOW to perform every step necessary to complete an ASP.NET project. If you're in a situation whereby you just need to learn how to get something in particular done without regard to the step by step method that this book uses, it will show you how to do it with practical working examples of how to make it happen. It is also a good how-to source for those who may already have either extensive or some web development background but want to know how to do it in ASP.NET. If you're already an ASP.NET programmer but not proficient in Language Integrated Query or rich internet applications(RIA) then the AJAX and LINQ sections will prove to be extremely helpful.

I had a problem getting some of the sample applications into Visual Studio at first but later saw what they were doing as far as also teaching the reader how to add items to a project. For me it could have been clearer if it was stated that that is what they were trying to do in the beginning. Ergo, I found that the exercise on page 30 didn't quite seem to work as it was indicated. I would have rather downloaded the entire solution, opened it with Visual Studio, compiled it and then have taken it from there doing the IIS stuff at different juncture.

The bottom line is if you need to learn and do ASP quickly, particularly in or for a professional environment then this is definitely a resource you need to have in your tool bag. It'll be good if you know C# but if you don't know it that well, then you can also learn a whole lot of "how to's" by looking at all the code and code-behind that accompany each chapter - not at a level for Microsoft certification but for everyday practical programming in the language. I found it also to be a more than casual introduction into using IIS as well. The book also demonstrates how to exploit more of the 3.5 features including ListView and DataPager.

Although I haven't read all of the books available on ASP.NET I do have a few. So far, this one is emerging as the only one I apparently need.
