Very very good - By: P. Hardy, 16 Jun 2008 
I have a lot of asp.net books but this is the best by far. It's clear, well written & the examples are relevant. I've been programming .net since version 1.1, & its nice that I'm bumping into stuff that I just didn't know before. Anyway, to put it simply, I can't recommend this book enough, I've packed alll my others away :)
Coverage and depth - By: shinysteve, 05 Feb 2008 What more can I say? Its alll in here & with plenty of examples to show how it alll works too. Nice writing style makes for easy reading - but at 1498 pages you ain't going to get through it in a day. Its great for dipping in & out of & for looking up the specifics of C#/ASP topics - or pick a chapter & enhance your knowledge.
Very, very impressed by this - its my first APress book, but it won't be my last.
