Product Description
Did you volunteer to create a Web site for the softball team? Is it time to take your small business to the next level and let your customers shop online? Well, you can relax! ASP.NET 3.5 makes creating a dynamic site faster and cleaner than ever before, and ASP.NET 3.5 For Dummies makes it easier. First, you’ll get an introduction to all the tools and terminology you need to understand ASP.NET. If you’ve used earlier versions of ASP.NET and Visual Web Developer, you can probably skip that part and jump right into what’s new in 3.5. You'll make friends with LINQ and SQL, create sites in Visual Web Developer 2008 Express, and much more. Before you know it, you’ll discover how to: - Integrate data, track shopping cart contents, and whisk away bugs
- Create user interfaces with easy navigation
- Use the ListView control for sophisticated formatting
- Write LINQ queries
- Add a table to a database
- Create an event handler
- Take advantage of the drag 'n' drop feature that lets you write less code
- Put all the features to work to develop dynamic Web applications
The softball team is going to love that Web site, and your customers might enjoy shopping on your site so much that you’ll have to expand your business to fill all the orders! We can’t promise that, of course, but we’re pretty sure that ASP.NET 3.5 For Dummies will make creating Web sites easier and a lot more fun.

In general, this book has been helpful to me. However, at times I find that the book provides vague instructions that left me scratching my head.

This is an excellent and enjoyable text for getting up to speed on ASP.NET 3.5. This step-by-step guide has numerous examples in VB (and C# versions on the author's site) that allows one to get practical exposure to the most current version of the ASP.NET technology. The book is well suited for both the beginner and anyone who has worked extensively with earlier versions of ASP.NET and needs a primer for getting up to speed on the ASP.NET 3.5 technology. Finally, the author Ken Cox is very responsive to questions regarding the examples shown in his book (he responded to my Email within a couple of hours). It is refreshing to see an author that takes so much pride in his work and produces such a fine, well written text.

Too confusing

The book gets off to a good start, but then becomes confusing. I seldom knew if I were working on the same project, starting a new one or what? The author Ken Cox will explain some steps in detail and then completely assume you know something elsewhere. I finally bogged down in the Linq section, which is near the front of the book. I will continue to try to comprehend his instructions. To me, this isn't a book for dummies. I am now supplementing it with the Beginning ASP.Net by Wrox. Maybe that will help.

Excellent overview of asp.net 3.5

I recently finished this book and feel so much better about the subject. I was a classic ASP programmer and took a couple of years off from programming. When I returned, I downloaded Visual Web Developer 2008 and was lost. I was used to programming in Notepad, and all this click and drag stuff was foreign to me.
After reading this book, I realized that things that took me hours to do in classic ASP, now only take minutes. The book is well organized, adds lots of humor and reads well from cover to cover. It is also a nice reference, and most of the chapters are set up so that if you want to skip forward a bit (which I did here and there), you aren't lost.
I really liked the sections on LINQ and site security. Ken Cox explains these subjects like butter: nice and smooth! This is a great guide for anyone interested in the subject. I have a very complex project that I am working on, and I feel comfortable moving forward with the project after reading this book.
