ASP.Net and CSS Books From WroxThree books arrived recently from Wrox, including a distant descendent of one of my favorite programming books. Beginning ASP.NET 2.0 with C#, by Hart, Kauffman, Sussman and Ullman. When ChannelWeb was on a Windows server platform (ooh, a while ago), I learned much of my web programming from Wrox's Beginning Active Servers Pages 2.0. Several versions of book and software later, we're up to Beginning ASP.NET 2.0 with C#, with three authors in common with the 'classic': Kauffman, Sussman and Ullman. Beginning Active Servers Pages was enthusiastically recommended to me by one of my ASP gurus, and it worked both as a thorough beginners' tutorial and as a source of sophisticated development ideas, and included a rich set of reference appendixes. The new version begins with a series of chapters on building web solutions within Microsoft's Visual Web Developer Express IDE, postponing core language discussions (variables, control structures) till chapter 9, ominously entitled "Code". From there, the book goes into e-commerce, web services, and performance issues, and should be worth a look for Windows developers. ASP.NET 2.0 Instant Results, by Spaanjaars, Wilton and Livermore The Instant Results books feature chapter-length, standalone projects to build specific web solutions, and come complete with CD-Roms with source code. The ten projects in CSS include drop-down menus, slide shows, and calendars; the dozen in ASP.NET include a chat server, survey engine, blog and database projects. Check the sites to see if they cover what you're looking for. Posted by Joe Caponi at 10:28 AM, June 22, 2006 This is a public forum.
