Just wanted to know of any good books on ASP.NET. I've used ASP.NET before but only briefly and now want to take it to another level. I've bought
' ASP.NET Unleashed' by Stephen Walther but I havent found it that useful yet as its only a reference. Does anyone know of any good books that have helped them through development . Although I'm a beginner, I dont want a book that is too basic in order
to throw it away after a few months. Apart from books what would be the best way to get into ASP.NET? Also does anyone know of any good C# books for beginners?
3) and buy member ship at http://www.learnvisualstudio.net/ - they have tons of very good videos for everyone. I have lifetime membership with them for few years now & i always find something interseting there
Wrox and Apress have the best of authors. Plus..... they have a huge range of books.
I suggest you to pick up few good books, read them and move for other book. You will learn few good things from all the books you read. One book and one author is not sufficient for a massive asp.net.
Keep a tab on amazon, wrox and apress and other sites for books.
I've gotten used to the Wrox layout of their books. I generally prefer them for beginner and mid-level topics. No one has really wow'd me from an advanced topics perspective yet. Maybe Apress but I need more books than I have to judge.
There are quite a few books on ASP.NET 2.0 that wrox publishes. Does anyone know which ones are the best for beginners? Have you used any of them? What's your verdict? Please give your thoughts as I will need to buy one.
When you feel your self litle comfortable in the above two book then go for UNLEASHED asp.net 2.0(This is a very good book with an indepth knowlege of every topic) I donot remember the publisher. You just tell the name Unleashed and they will understand.there
is only one book in the market with that name.
I've got shelves full of ASP.NET books (Amzon loves me, and as long as I occasionally order some sappy romance who-dunnit for her, my wife still does too...). Most used is still
ASP.NET Unleashed by Walther. It's an okay learning book but it's a phenomenal reference. My personal preference when learning were (still are):
ASP.NET 2.0 Website Programming: Problem - Design - Solution by Marco Bellinaso Professional ASP.NET 2.0 Special Edition by Bill Evjen, Scott Hanselman, Devin Rader, and Farhan Muhammad Professional ASP.NET 2.0 by Bill Evjen, Scott Hanselman, Farhan Muhammad, and Srinivasa Sivakumar Beginning ASP.NET 2.0 in VB 2005: From Novice to Professional by Matthew MacDonald ASP.NET 2.0 All-In-One Desk Reference For Dummies by Doug Lowe, Ken Cox, and Jeff Cogswell
Either of the Professional ASP.NET 2.0 will be okay, you don't really need both. I like Wrox's Programmer to Programmer series, and the Dummies book still gets used occasionally as a reference. The Problem - Design - Solution books have
always been great for me to learn from. I've had other books that were good as well, but more specific, AJAX, Master Pages, Security, etc.

Read this books section too regularly.
I hope i am clear now.

Hi,
Go through these books if you are a beginner.
WROX- ASP.NET WITH VB.NET 1.0
ASP.NET WITH C# 1.0
When you feel your self litle comfortable in the above two book then go for UNLEASHED asp.net 2.0(This is a very good book with an indepth knowlege of every topic) I donot remember the publisher. You just tell the name Unleashed and they will understand.there is only one book in the market with that name.

You can use Wrox Or O'relly book (Begining version). Which will help you to get the initial knowledge.
Also you get free books from : http://www.pdfchm.com
