Reader ReviewsI needed to learn ASP.NET and I want to get my Certification for MCAD. This book is the best one I have found for helping me in achieving my goals. The author did a very good job on the format of the book. Each chapter explores different areas of ASP.NET and each chapter is broken up into manageable chunks for ease of learning. This book is focused on "Active Learning". The author invites you to get involved with the learning process and encourages you to explore the possibilities. At the beginning of the book, there is a section on "How To Use This Book". It explains the format of the book, the purpose of each part, and how to get the most out of it. For example, after each concept is introduced, the author provides a "Step By Step" example for you to see the concept in action. The reader is encouraged to work through the exercise and play with it until you understand it. At the end of a larger section that covers many concepts, the author provides you with a "Guided Practice". The reader is encouraged to try it on their own first but the author does provide a solution for when you get stuck. The author also provides a section summary called a "Review Break". At the end of a chapter, there are exercises to work, essay review questions, and sample exam questions. All of these have answers and explanations separate from the questions themselves. The reader is encouraged to try them on their own first. In addition to all this, there are study tips, recommended reading for each chapter. If the reader is doing all these things, you WILL learn the material. The book also includes a scaled down version of the 70-315 practice test from PrepLogic. Naturally you have the opportunity to buy the full scale version. On the down side, the author assumes you have a basic knowledge of C#. Many of the concepts introduced in the first chapter will be lost on someone new to C# and .NET. I would strongly recommend you get a tutorial type book on C# before you get this book. I would recommend "Inside C#" by Tom Archer and "Applied Microsoft .NET Framework Programming" by Jeffery Richter. Both are excellent and will prepare you for what you need to know before working through this book. -=} Randall {=-
