I found this book to be substantially better than others that I looked at. Most ASP.NET books focus on how to use the automated tools in Visual Web Developer. These are powerful tools, but they seem to give your website a “canned” look.
Beginning ASP.NET 2.0 in VB 2005: From Novice to Professional covered these tools, but went deeper, and demonstrated how to access the important features of ASP.NET 2.0 directly in code. The material was very accessable to me as a novice, and the examples were extremely helpful. I was able to copy them into my code, make the modifications to address my needs, and they worked flawlessly.

Phenomenal book. Covers MANY topics. Great reference book for ASP.NET
Of all of the books I have purchased for ASP.NET (VB) so far, this book is the best. It covers most if not all topics needed for the intermediate ASP.NET developer.

Sorry guys. This book is in no way set up for the novice. I am a 3rd year computer engineering student and I find many parts too technical for the beginner. The terminology used will require a certain amount of education to be able to grasp the concepts. If it were named “for the professional”, I’d have given it a 5.

I teach a web application development course for experienced MIS undergraduate students at a huge southern university. This is the second edition of MadDonald’s in VB I have used and will continue to use it as long as he keeps publishing them. My students will have had two programming courses in which they use VB and are very experienced with database design, SQL, and stored procedures.
The book provides superb coverage of the development and execution environment, the fundamentals of coding and contols, data connectivity, security, and performance issues. Unlike most other references (at least for VB 2003) MacDonald focuses exclusively on the code-behind pages and doesn’t try to mix up the VB code in the HTML pages.
The book contains a superb brief overview of web services–definitely enough for my students to create and field their own.
The explanations and examples are well written and easy to follow for this audience.

Answer to a review
Sylvia B. Gonzalez, ASP.NET is really not a beginning subject. I have been in the business for more than 40 years, it is not an easy business.

NOT HELPFUL
This book was not helpful it does not give any exercises it jumps from one topic to another. The book is suppose to be for beginners not advanced.

Great Resource
Before purchasing this book, the reader should have “some” working knowledge of Visual Basic 2005 Language, a VB 2005 reference book or some form of training material for VB…
