Book for ASP.NET?
- Thread starter Ovatvvon
- Start date
I'm a Wrox man myself, so any of their books would be mint.
HOWEVER, one thing to note: If you're using Visual Studio to do your asp.net, then hold off a bit. All the books out there so far all deal with asp.net in an old school way (i.e. adding script tags to an html file), instead of using Visual Studio.NET, which is a different development environment froma text editor all together.
If you just want to get your head around the basics though (like what ASP.NET is, how it works, etc.), then Beginning ASP.NET using VB.NET from Wrox is an excellent pick. Its what I used to get my jump start into developing with asp.net

I have several books ASP.NET books and I would recommend for starting to learn [tt]ASP.NET Unleashed by Stephen Walther (ISBN: 0-672-32068-1)[/tt]. This book seems to cover everything, additional he has some samples on his website Additional, I have attended two conferences that he has spoken at and he (compare to the other speakers) actually knowns what he is talking about.
Two additional books that I would sugguest reviewing, depending on what your goals / environment is, these may be beneficial books:
[tt]ASP.NET Tips, Tutorials, and Code by Scott Mitchell, Steve Walther, Doug Seven, Donny Mack, Chris Payne, Billy Anders, Adam Nathan, Dan Wahlin (ISBN: 0-672-32143-2)[/tt]
[tt]Programming Data-Driven Web Applications with ASP.NET by Mack Seven (ISBN: 0-672-32106-8)[/tt]
Hope this helps!
