Whatever you do, don't mention data!
I enjoyed the early part of the book. The examples worked beautifully every time. I felt I was learning about C# and ASP.NET at the same time.As I progressed through the book I wondered when they were going to get to databases. They never did. What about Cookies? They are not mentioned either! OK, no book can cover everything, and who'd want it to. But this one simply doesn't go far enough even for a c#/.net novice like me. In summary, a good starting point but you'll soon need other books beside this one.

Nothing is Perfect
I didn't give this book 5 stars because nothing is perfect. However, these authors have done a pretty impressive job on their book.Let me tell you what I liked: I liked the introduction where they gave you all of the important C# syntax BEFORE launching into the WEB material. Then they showed me how to get started with simple WEB projects. This included the use of important controls, properties and more. Then they even did some work on GDI graphics (and I couldn't find this material in ANY other book on the WEB that I looked at in the book store). The book ends with a couple of good WEB service examples, but I haven't gotten to writing them yet. Well, the book is about 500 pages... Pretty good deal for what I got out of it.

Fundamentals
If this book is suppose to be an introductory book on C$# fundamentals - they guys got it right.I was hoping for some windows programming but I just learned they have another C# book for that. I found it to be useful, accurate and to the point. A good book.
