ASP.NET 2.0 Instant Results October 10, 2006
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The different types of projects and the introduction of new features and controls of ASP.NET 2.0 make this a book worthwhile for those new to ASP.NET 2.0 or even to those that are new to web development. The title sums it up pretty well in that you really do get instant results.
The book incorporates 12 chapters, each pertaining to an individual project. These projects cover basic topics through to advanced topics and introduce you to some of the new ASP.NET 2.0 features such as the MembershipProvider objects, improvements to ADO.NET and GDI+ and out of band callbacks to name a few.
Each chapter follows the same path, You look at the project in it's entirety before then moving onto the design. Finally, you get a walkthrough of the code used and how to setup the project on your development machine.
Personally, I found it easier to skip the walkthrough of the code used and go straight to setting up the project on my development machine. This way, you can more easily follow the code walkthrough having the solution in front of you.
I'd highly recommend this book if you find learning a new language or concept easier by having the code in front of you.
How ASP.NET 2.0 Instant Results has effected my business May 11, 2006

Concepts
I operate a small yet dynamic web design/ development business where time is of the essence and sometimes we may not have the time to study new languages as they are released.
The approach we decided to take was to purchase a range of books based on languages that are currently in demand and in our own time self study or tackle the theory when needed. This has proved to be a key factor in our current success.
The only issue I had found was the majority of the books available teach you key principals but not necessarily an array of concepts in which these principals are applied. This is where ASP.NET 2.0 Instant Results fell from the heavens into my book collection.
ASP.NET 2.0 Instant Results puts the concepts first followed by key factors used to implement them.
Action Learning
Before starting my business I worked with an organisation based on a Philosophy called Action Learning which integrates learning with work rather than learning first and apply your new found skills afterwards. One of the key benefits of this philosophy is that the experience you gain through learning at work enables you to remember it for a lot longer... experiential learning!
I have found that the way in which I use ASP.NET 2.0 Instant Results integrates with my style of learning as I use its concepts/ resources when appropriate plus its direct style of writing is effective in my approach. .. similar to reference material.
Enjoy!
