Book Review: Professional ASP.NET 2.0 by Bill Evjen

 Excellent Coverage of ASP.NET 2.0

In the classical Wrox Press approach this 1,000+ page volume covers a LOT of stuff. I approached this book as someone very familiar with 1.0 who just needed to get up-to-speed with 2.0. For that I whole-heartedly recommend it. I used this book for just-in-time learning I was architecting a new enterprise application and wanted to implement the ASP.NET 2.0 approach to master pages, themes and skins, roles and membership, site navigation, AJAX, and more. I found it easy to read each chapter on the particular technology and then put it in place in your own app. If you are completely new to ASP.NET, I probably wouldn't recommend this book to you. You will probably find that one of Jesse Liberty's books covers the learning curve at a better pace.
