A Fantastic Learning Resource, By P. J. (Suburban Chicago) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself ASP.NET in 24 Hours Complete Starter Kit (Sams Teach Yourself...in 24 Hours) (Paperback)
I give this book by Scott Mitchell FIVE STARS! After tediously working my way through more than half a dozen other ASP.NET books in order to learn this new technology, this is the first one that made sense using examples that were not only easy to understand, but useful for future applications as well. I ran into configuration problems half way through the book, and Scott (the author) was quick to email me with solutions the same day! Just how much more can a student expect? Scott has a way of explaining complicated concepts in a way that someone studying this topic for the first time can understand, and he uses just enough repetition to reinforce a topic thoroughly. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn the basics of ASP.NET.

Great Beginners Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself ASP.NET in 24 Hours Complete Starter Kit (Sams Teach Yourself...in 24 Hours) (Paperback)
This book is for beginners. It assumes very little and therefore does not get beyond the basics. The book is slow paced and the author repeats himself often and sometimes in the the same paragraph. Don't get the wrong impression, I think this book is fine, but it's for the novice who doesn't know how to code at all. The software that comes with the book includes a great editor, ASP.Net Web Matrix. The other software is SQL Web Server and Framework. All are avaialble free from Microsoft. I should add all the examples are written in Visual Basic.

Excellent introduction to ASP.NET and Web Matrix Project, By
This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself ASP.NET in 24 Hours Complete Starter Kit (Sams Teach Yourself...in 24 Hours) (Paperback)
If you are new to ASP.NET like I was, this is an excellent book to get you started. I finished this book within a week, and with the knowlege I learned, I'm now moving forward with C#.NET and VisualStudio.Net to development more professional level ASP.NET web pages.The author describes the basics of ASP.NET concepts and coding techniques using a very clear and understandable writing style. Each hour lesson builds on the previous lesson so even complete novices (like I was) will be comfortable with each topic as they progress through the book. The author uses VB.NET for the code examples, but C#.NET programmers should have no trouble following along. Indeed, I easily translated the VB code to C# after I finished each lesson. As an extra bonus, the accompanying CD-Rom contains the full .Net Frameworks SDK, MSDE (SQL Server desktop), and Web Matrix Project, which is a very nifty IDE for developing ASP.NET applications (and the samples included in each lesson).
