With a foreword by Microsoft's Mark Anders, ASP.NET: Tips,
Tutorials and Code consists of 19 chapters written by seven of today's leading
experts in ASP.NET. These authors are professional developers who create ASP.NET
applications, teach, run well-known ASP.NET Web sites, either within or outside
of Microsoft. The tutorial framework for each chapter includes: a brief introduction,
explaining the concept; a code example, illustrating the concept; a piece-by-piece
explanation of the code.
The code examples in this book are based upon the ASP.NET Beta2
specifications, a functionally complete version of the software.
Most examples employ VB.NET, but there are also additional
C# examples within each chapter, and all of the example programs will be available
at the book's web site in both VB.NET and C#.

Content is good - book bindings CRUMMY
I have bought many books over the years to aid in my career as a computer programmer from all the major vendors (Microsoft, Wrox, Sams, Osborne etc..)
I have 3 SAMS books with a "blue cover" (like this one) and there is something about them. They all FALL APART!!! The other 2 I have like this (with the same problem) is: "Microsoft .NET XML web services" and "Building E-commerce sites with the .NET framework". All three of the books that are made like this from SAMS have all the pages falling out of them, the cover falls off. I tried to glue them but it doesnt come out that great. Its very annoying to have a book you spent maybe 35-40 bucks for and to have the pages all falling off of it and trying to deal with it. It basically makes the reading experience unacceptable because you get tired of dealing with all the pages separating..
I tried to let Sams know about this issue, they need to fire their book binders, but its like pulling teeth getting any customer service from them.
The content is actually quite good, but I cannot recommend a book that falls apart as you read it (literally).
Sorry Sams but you need to address this. I have many other books and I have not ran across this issue but with these "blue-cover" Sams books. Stop trying to cut costs with these cheap book bindings and cheap covers.

Outstanding Tutorial/Reference
This is a great book for mastering ASP.NET if you already have an ASP background and some exposure to the fundamentals of .NET. It gets right to the meat of the information on tasks that you want to do most and gives you insight into some of the new capabilities of the .NET object model that will enhance your applications. Code samples are generous and each is explained with enough detail to present the concept without boring the reader to tears.
I highly recommend this book to start mastering ASP.NET applications.

AWESOME BOOK. GREAT REFERENCE.
AWESOME BOOK. GREAT REFERENCE. "ASP.NET: Tips, Tutorials, and Code" is one of the best books I have seen in a long time. Too often, technical books follow the formula of creating a large project in chapter one that is completed in chapter 35. If you skip a chapter, one simply cannot follow along. This book is a reference for those of us who want to jump around, skip, or skim chapters.
The examples are concise and easy to understand, though they are mostly in VB.NET (yuck! C# would have been preferred).
One complaint is that the included CD Rom does NOT contain the code (very odd). You will have to download the sample code from the SAMS website. The other complaint is that the code examples are sectioned by chapter and are in individual zip files for C# and VB.NET making it cumbersome to unzip the files one at a time.
