Hi

Can anybody recommend a good ASP.NET book? I have many years of experience in software development (Java, VB, C), but I haven't done so much web front end stuff, although I have done a bit.

I would like a fairly comprehensive text.

Regards

One I would recommend is ASP.NET Unleashed by Stephen Walther which is published by SAMs.

It has a lot of code examples and has some useful tips. It is clear to understand and has quite a variation of information.

All the samples use VB code and the database connection sections give exmaples for both SQL and OleDb.

Worth a look!

Wrox also has a good website oriented book called 'ASP.NET Website Programming Problem - Design - Solution'. It's not as thick as 'ASP.NET Unleashed', which I also highly recommend, but it's very thorough in developing a web solution from start to finish and includes best practices for overall web creation.

Thank you both for your suggestions, I will check those two books out!

The best book I've gotten so far is

MCAD/MCSD Developing and Implementing Web Applications with Visual Basic .NET and Visual Studio .NET

by QUE

Its a book intended to help you prep for taking the Microsoft 70-305 exam, but it covers all the basics of asp.net in great detail. The first part of the book covers the basics, and the information is very detailed.

Plus, it can help you prep for the asp.net exam if you were interested in taking that later on.
