Great book to start ASP.NET with VB.NET
This book did a great job of covering the various topics required when building a web application. I did find that this book took me longer to go thru than other beginning ASP.NET books because of the use of Visual Studio.NET within all the chapters, it shows off many of the VS.NET tools which I had not used as much in other books.One of the main things I like about this book is the perspective in which the authors deliver the content. For example the authors will show you how to generate controls at design time with minimal code and effort, then they will show you their preferred way of generating controls; manually, with a bit more code for you to write but more efficient. The way any web developer would do it. The authors don't just take Microsoft heresy; they give you best practices from their experience. There were some typos but nothing unbearable.
Tons of source code available, and a complete version of the site you will build. Overall this was a great book, I look forward to other books by the same authors.

Clear and Concise!
This book is designed for developers who want to create real world business applications that take advantage of many new capabilities provided by the .NET platform. The book will guide you step-by-step to building a web application using ASP.NET, SQL Server, ADO.NET, Web Forms, and Web Services.Whether or not you have some previous web programming experience, you will get alot out of this book. To get the most out of the book it is recommended that you have some previous programming experience in either Visual Basic 6 or VB.NET, however it is not required. It is also recommended that you have some familiarity with relational databases, such as Access or SQL Server. The book is divided into four parts. Part one provides an introduction to ASP.NET and the .NET Framework. Part 2 covers data handling using ADO.NET, Web Forms, stored procedures, and other data handling tools. Part three teaches some additional web development techniques. You will learn how to use Crystal Reports to display information from a database, create user controls, state management, web security, and how to create mobile web applications. Finally, Part four shows how to create and consume XML Web Services. I found the book extremely easy to read and understand. After reading the book and completing the ASP.NET sample application, you will have the knowledge and confidence to begin building your own ASP.NET web applications.

Book is excellent, the samples DO run
I think that Getz and Sheriff's reputations in the VB community are peerless. Their countless magazine articles and numerous books have helped me personally over the past decade, and their names are ones I look for and know I can count on.This includes ASP.NET Developer's Jumpstart. I admit that getting the environment to sit up and beg is tricky, but I'm pretty sure I read in the Introduction that the basics wouldn't be covered. There are many texts and KBs to help with that. If you have ASP.NET installed correctly, the samples run as described. This text was a big help to me, especially with its treatment of VB.NET in ASP.NET. The ADO.NET treatment was equally valuable. I couldn't recommend this book more highly.
