Title: Building Web Solutions with ASP.NET and ADO.NET by Dino Esposito ISBN: 0-7356-1578-0 Publisher: Microsoft Press Pub. Date: 06 February, 2002 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $49.99 |

Summary: Its worth buying, but buy it used, and be familiar with .NET
Comment: Pros:
This book does a good job of describing ADO and its relationship to web controls. Covers caching, and interopability which I thought was valuable.
Cons: (not really "cons", but maybe some short-comings):
I wished it had more than a half-page section on the caching object along with some examples and real-world scenarios.
I would also have liked VB along with the C# code.
Finally, if the book is going to be about ADO & ASP.NET, then I feel it should have addressed the basics of getting data - creating a connection in .NET, and hooking it up to a sqldatareader. I already knew how to do that, however, other readers may not. They shouldn't have to go to another source to find out.
I couldn't put this book down when I got it yesterday, however, there were times when I found myself thinking "that sounds great.. but HOW do you do that?.. where is the example? What if I don't want to code in C# ?"..
Bottom line, its worth buying. Try to buy it used, and make sure you have a little background in .NET.

Summary: Warning-Expert book, No VB.NET code, all C#
Comment: This is not an intermediate book:
The author knows what he is talking about. Perhaps he made it overly complex, he goes in to great detail and some of it is overkill. I started reading it and I knew that I needed to get another book that simplifies some of the subjects and I would use this book when I need to get to the gritty details. I was rather disappointed that there was no Visual Basic .NET code. The author clearly is a C# expert. I may change my review once I read the whole book, I am sure I will appreciate his thoroughness once I have a grasp of ASP.NET.

Summary: Extremely good book for Intermediate to Advanced readers
Comment: This is quite a good book on real techniques to solve real problems. It's still going to be useful if you use for you're development third party controls and frameworks, you still will find valuable information inside. I wouldn't recommend it for the very beginner that wants a Learn-This-In-1-Hour book (and keep yourself in the ignorance :-)).
For anybody else with certain degree of familiarity with the .Net environment, the book is going to be extremely useful.
