Missing critical sections and disorganized
At first, this seemed like a good book. It introduced ASP.NET well and brought me quickly up to speed. As a reference, however, this book is sorely lacking. There is no definitive list of all the ASP.NET server controls and their properties for instance. There are only a couple examples of SQL Server connectivity, and the configuration chapter is almost dead last - long after many topics and examples which require knowledge of configuration are covered. I frequently felt left in the dust. I think it is a typical problem of Wrox books. With so many authors it is hard for there to be a consistent message and progressive flow. Different authors assume different levels of knowledge when it gets to their section of the book. The result is a jarring experience that often left me feeling left behind.

Disappointed!
I'm a huge fan of Wrox Press books. I've also read books written by some of this book's authors but this book is absolutely disappointing.Wonderful first two chapters followed by back to back to back disappointing chapters. Examples are terrible. They are just code samples that do not demonstrate a point.
