Product Description
From Amazon
Active Server Pages (ASP) has been the backbone of server-side programming in the Microsoft environment for several years. Visual Basic has been that company's toolkit for developing client-server applications in a hurry. Now, with the release of the ASP.NET specification and the VB .NET development environment, the two technologies intersect more than ever. ASP.NET and VB.NET Web Programming explains how each of these technologies works on its own, and explains in implementation-level detail (i.e., lots of code listings) exactly how they work together to provide Web services under the .NET Framework.
Matt Crouch uses a nifty technique for annotating his code. Rather than comment long listings extensively, or repeat sections later for commentary, he attaches a number to interesting lines in long listings. Then, in the commentary sections that follow the listings, he refers to lines by number (so-and-so happens in line 84 because we did thus-and-such in line 56, for example). The effect is like reading an analysis of poetry. The technique works well, except for the fact that you sometimes end up flipping back and forth between commentary and listing. Overall, this is a fine choice for someone familiar with VB 6 or old-style ASP who wants to learn about Microsoft-style Web services with the help of numerous code samples and careful commentary. --David Wall
Topics covered: How to create Web sites under the Microsoft .NET Framework. The author covers techniques for creating HTML interfaces with ASP.NET, shows how to build managed components for COM+, and explains how to create Web services under VB .NET. It's a comprehensive guide to Web services and HTML page generation for VB .NET programmers.
Book Description
The practical tutorial on Web development with ASP.NET and Visual Basic .NET!
In-depth coverage of both Web applications and Web services.
Includes detailed chapters on ADO.NET data access and securing .NET applications.
Contains a "crash course" on Visual Basic .NET for both new VB developers and those upgrading from VB6! With ASP.NET, developers can create robust, high-performance Web applications and services in much the same way theyve long constructed Windows applications- visually and rapidly. Whether youre an experienced Web developer or not, ASP.NET and VB.NET Web Programming will show you how to make the most of ASP.NET, using Microsofts most popular development language -- Visual Basic. Matthew Crouch begins by introducing the .NET platform and outlining its advantages for Web development when compared with alternative approaches. Next, he presents a crash course in Visual Basic .NET programming for both new VB developers and those upgrading from earlier versions. Crouch introduces ASP.NETs programming model and key features -- dissecting ASP.NET Web pages, introducing ASP.NETs powerful Web, HTML, and rich controls, and walking step-by-step through the creation of a full ASP.NET application. Next, he demonstrates how to access the .NET Framework Class Library from ASP.NET, leveraging .NETs built-in directory services, message queueing, Internet communication, and XML data manipulation facilities. The book also contains extensive coverage of building .NET managed components and Web services with Visual Basic .NET; accessing data with ADO.NET; and securing your .NET applications. The accompanying CD contains all the source code from the book. For all Web application developers who are just starting out with .NET.
Matt J. Crouch is currently Senior Technologist at RealMed Corporation. He previously served as Web and software developer for Centillion Data Systems, Inc., an international software developer and service bureau. Crouch has been developing web and e-commerce applications with ASP and COM for several years. He is author of Web Programming with ASP and COM (AW).

Poorly written, "jumpy" explanations,
By Adam Smithee (usa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: ASP.NET and VB.NET Web Programming (Paperback)
The author's writing style is not only extremely poor, but confusing as he uses terminologies that a LOT of beginners may not be familiar with. You'll find yourself going over to webopedia.com for explanations for a lot of his terms which he simply mentions or just glosses over.I was forced to by this text for a college course and have found much better beginning asp.net and vb.net texts since buying it.

Bad Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: ASP.NET and VB.NET Web Programming (Paperback)
Disorganized....ADO.NET example in chapter 7 doesn't even make any sense if you follow it....Errors throughout...download of examples doesn't even have the examples from the book....

General,
By A Customer
This review is from: ASP.NET and VB.NET Web Programming (Paperback)
Over all this book is covering a lot of topics and should be good for beginner. Too much explanation of the code and stuff that's obvious for intermediate / senior levels. I did encounter couple problems. COM+ part does not go into details. The sample that I made (downloaded) for this chapter did not work. It might be the operation system problem, but I did not find any references in the book that you can't do this if you are running on WIN2000. Also, web services did not work with my components, again, no references in the book what do you do if web service looks inaccessible.
