Professional ASP.NET 1.0 (2002 Edition)

Alex Homer, Dave Sussman

Peer Information, 2002

You'd think it would be more help
I got this when it was basically the only book out there. Since then, whenever I have an ASP.NET problem I open this book, search vainly through the 1300 pages for coherent help, then give up and go to google groups. With all that writing you'd think that I would ...

ASP.NET 1.0 Namespace Reference with C#

Amit Kalani, Dave Gerding, ...

Wrox Press, 2002

Great reference with examples
Finally, a book I have been looking for; a readable reference with solid examples. Does a great job on the namespaces it covers. Looking forward to similiar books to cover additional namespaces. This is not a tutorial. Gets straight to the point and provides you with ...

ASP.NET 2.0 Illustrated (Microsoft .NET Development Series)

Alex Homer, Dave Sussman

Addison-Wesley Professional, 2006

an authoritative, informative, and concise introduction to ASP.NET
Excerpt from C# Online.NET Review (wiki.CSharp-Online.NET): "As the authors lead the reader through binding, caching, displaying, editing, exposing, filtering, paging, securing, and sorting data--one sees just how successful Microsoft has been in streamlining access ...

ASP.NET 1.0 Namespace Reference with VB.NET

Amit Kalani, Dave Gerding, ...

Wrox Press, 2002

ASP.NET 1.0 - The Not Quite Complete Namespace Reference
Well, I got this book about three days ago, and it's pretty nice. It's very thick, and there is a lot of very good information in it. It covers a wide range of System.Web namespaces, and goes into some of the System.Data namespace, but it neglects something as ...

Alex Homer's Professional ASP 3.0 Web Techniques

Alex Homer

Wrox Press, 2000

The topping of an ASP cake.
Some people, so it seems, expected Alex Homer to break ground rules with his knowledge of ASP. He is a wonderful writer and a terrific programmer, but he's also just another joe. This book will not teach you to program better, it'll teach to think better about ...

Wrox's ASP.NET 2.0 Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition Starter Kit

David Sussman, Alex Homer

Wrox, 2006

Good Starting Tutorial and CD includes the Software
ASP.NET has created a drag-and-drop environment to enable the non-programmer to design web pages of surprising complexity without having to learn very much programming at all. While this approach will probably not last forever as your site gets more complex, it is a ...

Professional Active Server Pages 3.0 (Programmer to Programmer)

Alex Homer, David Sussman, ...

Peer Information, 1999

The BEST book for classical ASP
Obsolete??? Hardly. As I write this review, new Web page technologies are being matured: jsp, php, chm (yech). New models are being matured: Servlets, STRUTS, .NET. Classical ASP 3.0 is still quick, fast and necessary for small to medium businesses, even ...

Instant HTML Programmer's Reference Html

Alex Homer, Chris Ullman, ...

Peer Information Inc., 1997

Fantastic capsule HTML book!
Of course, this is dated already, but if you are doing plain vanilla HTML, this is the most perfect HTML guide I've come across, and I have many. Even 3 years after it was published, when I need to look something up, this is the book that comes off the shelf first, ...

Pro ASP.NET Web Forms Techniques, Second Edition

Alex Homer, Apress

Apress, 2003

High Quality and Clearly Explained
Mr. Homer has produced that rarity in a serious programming book, quality with clarity. The examples individually and as a whole are all very well done, and any ASP.NET programmer from intermediate level up will find something useful in here. One other note, I had a ...

Beginning Dynamic Websites: with ASP.NET Web Matrix (Programmer to Programmer)

Dave Sussman, James Greenwood, ...

Wrox, 2003

Absolutely great book for beginners (static to dynamic web)
I am a college student having some programming knowledge but totally new in dynamic/ data-driven web creation. I found this book really helpful to get started from static to exciting data-driven stuff with ASP and MSDE. Although WebMatrix has a limitation(which was ...

ASP 3.0 Programmer's Reference

Richard Anderson, Dan Denault, ...

Wrox Press, 1999

Much More Than Just an ASP Reference
Wrox is selling itself short on this one. Not only is it a great reference for ASP (lots of good examples and explanations), there are also several equally good chapters on ADO, CDO, XML, XLST, ADSI, MSMQ and Transactions. I've used it as a reference for these other ...

ASP 2.0 Programmer's Reference

David Sussman, Brian Francis, ...

Peer Information Inc., 1998

Good Reference Book
Very good reference book. This is what I learned ASP from. Intended for an intermediate programmer with knowledge of programming and uses vbscript examples. So if you know VBScript already, this book will get you programming ASP in no time. One thing that this book ...

Professional ASP XML

Stephen Mohr, Brian Loesgen, ...

Peer Information Inc., 2000

Best for Programmers to implement XML in ASP
Excellent! for ones who are pro to ASP and need to intergrate XML with ASP! A must buy!

Professional Asp Techniques for Webmasters (Wrox Professional Guides)

Alex Homer

John Wiley & Sons, 1998

Professional Asp Techniques for Webmasters
If you are a webmaster or a ASP developer who deals with the whole project, from design to deployment, this is the #1 book I would recommend to you! It helped me a great deal for the work I have done. The book covers all the aspects of the ASP-based packages that ...

Professional ASP.NET 1.1: Updated and Tested for Final Release of ASP.NET v1.1 (Programmer to Programmer)

Alex Homer, Dave Sussman, ...

Wiley Publishing, Inc., 2004

Thorough, good examples, screenshot heavy
This is one of those great all-in-one tome books. Some of which are great, like this one. While others are little more than doorstops. The text is well written, though, like most Wrox books it relies heavily on code to do most of the exposition. Almost every topic you ...
