This book is all wore-out... from overuse.
I have purchased many .NET books, but please believe me that 'ASP.NET and VB.NET Web Programming' is one of the best -- the kind of book you drag around with you for reference. The most basic programmer wanting to learn ASP.NET and VB.NET will be comfortable and will profit from reading the book ... . The more sohisticated programmer can extract chunks of the many sample programs save from 20%-30% project developemnt (I know, I have jump-started at least 6 projects with cut & paste sample code). When I activate web controls that are unfamiliar to me -- I open the book, glance at the example, and I am up & runnin'. One negative about Matt Crouch's book: It is all wore out, with dog-eared pages:>) ...

Teaching this old dog...
..some new tricks! Glad i picked this book up, because now i feel comfortable working with .NET. I already knew some VB, so some of the material in Chapter 2 was review, but all the object-oriented topics were new to me and easy to understand. The lab code samples were of good quality, too. I've never seen so much good information on ASP.NET. Crouch was very complete in his coverage in this area and provided many good examples that i was able to use in my projects. Highly recommended.

General
Over all this book is covering a lot of topics and should be good for beginner. Too much explanation of the code and stuff that's obvious for intermediate / senior levels. I did encounter couple problems. COM+ part does not go into details. The sample that I made (downloaded) for this chapter did not work. It might be the operation system problem, but I did not find any references in the book that you can't do this if you are running on WIN2000. Also, web services did not work with my components, again, no references in the book what do you do if web service looks inaccessible.
