Laying a Solid Foundation
To be quite honest I have not been a big fan of the "Dummies" series, but author Bill Hatfield has written a real gem. He seems to have a clear understanding of the skill set of his target audience - novice programmer. Yet he treats his audience with respect with intelligent dialog delivered at an even pace. This combines to create a solid foundation of learning. I was particularly impressed with Part III of Chapter 6 'Classy Objects and Methodical Properties.' In this section he introduces the reader to programming objects, a sometimes-intimidating concept. By using a "real-world" example - his car, he clearly constructs and then breaks down the components that constitute an object. Outstanding through and through. If you are new to programming and interested in learning the basics of ASP.net I highly recommend this book.

Excellent book for those new to .NET and programming
ASP.NET for Dummies is an excellent book for the beginning .NET developer and programmer. I am a web designer that decided to learn to code for the web using something other than Javascript and HTML. The book was great to learn programming basics as well as getting me up and running in .NET. I have started down a path of learning a great code language, VB, and I owe it to this book. Highly recommended.

A great book... but no C#
This book taught me quite a bit, with 2+ years of C++, and some Javascript knowledge, I really had no clue about ASP.NET or working with the .Net class libraries(granted this book does not go in depth into those libraries, but the MSDN library does;-)). This was the very firt programming related book I have ever read 100%(the rest kinda got too boring). I followed the book with all the examples and now I am making ASP.NET pages very easily. The book also provided me with a good introducton to VB.NET, but my company is using C#, so now I am converting the VB.Net to C#, but alot of the concepts in the book helped me in doing that. I still use the book as a reference, though I can't give five stars cause it didnt cover C#. I highly recommend this book to people who have never touched ASP or .NET stuff, its a great introduction.
