Great book to learn ASP.NET and VB.NET
I've just worked my way through 2/3rds of the book and I must say that I am both impressed and overwhelmed. Impressed by the fact that the author has such a deep grasp of the .NET classes/framework and overwhelmed by how much I am learning. I am planning to go through the book again, from cover to cover after I finish this itteration, just to try to pick up some of the tidbits that I might have missed. I have gone through "cover-to-cover" 5 books on VB.NET and 3 on ASP.NET, and this one ranks at the top of my list for ASP.NET and should be considered for the more advance VB.NET people as well. I can honestly say that you don't need to be an expert at VB.NET to get some great things from this book, but if you look closely at the VB.NET code, you will pick up a ton of useful (real-world) information.

Outstanding book!
This book is outstanding! I've learned almost as much from it as from Microsoft's own "IBuySpy" demo site. Probably the thing I like most about it was that it is written correctly, using code-behind pages and OO programming principles, not just slopped out as an example. Just being able to use the code as-is without having to translate to "real world" standards is a real relief. I've got probably a dozen ASP.NET books, and this is the one (along with SAM's ASP.NET Unleashed) that stays by my side.

Good in spite of the errors
I considered many books before choosing this one because it had an approach which fit the way that I learn. I'll be reviewing some of the projects many times to understand the method behind the design of the projects. Unfortunately, some of the projects were simply unfinished, or had problems that would prevent them from working correctly. It's still worth it -- there's a lot here.
