Unlike many other ASP.NET books that show examples for individual pages or features, the example in this book is an integrated end-to-end site (written in C#). The entire book and site has been written specifically for ASP.NET 2.0, to use the ASP.NET 2.0 features wherever they make sense.

The end-result is a website which features a layout with user-selectable themes, a membership system, a content management system for publishing and syndicating articles and photos, polls, mailing lists, forums, an e-commerce store with support for real-time credit card processing, homepage personalization, and localization. The book leads the reader through development of a site with:

• Account registration, personalization and theming
• News and events, organized into categories
• Opinion polls
• Newsletter
• Forums
• E-commerce store with shopping cart and order management
• Localization

• Full online back-end administrative section, to manage practically all data from an intuitive user interface
• Site deployment

• Master pages
• Theming
• Personalization & Web parts
• Membership & Profile modules
• Personalization
• The new server-side UI controls such as GridView, DetailsView, FormView, Wizard, MultiView, the new xxxDataSource and navigation controls, among others.
• The new compilation mode and deployment modes
• The new framework for instrumenting the site, as well as handling & logging exceptions
• The new ADO.NET 2.0 features (e.g. caching with database dependency)
• The new classes for easy distributed transactions Management

Best Book Ever
I have been working with ASP.NET for several years now and have never had a need to dig very deeply for the little I do with it. But I wanted to increase my skills and knowledge of ASP.NET. I bought several books, but they always just covered basic stuff, or the were very limited in what they cover. Not being a true developer and completely self taught, I have problems with little bits and pieces. I need to see a real world working example. I have only seen a few books out there that I would actually recommend, and that is with any subject. But if you have a base knowledge of ASP.NET and C#/VB.NET, this book is the best you will find. Marco explains everything and he covers things from a `real world` perspective.

Great pragmatic introduction to asp.net real world
This is a good book, if you need to see how all this asp.net 2.0 goodness will apply in the read world. The book starts off introducing some asp.net concepts and design practices that work well for most people. It is broken down with problem statement, design solution, architecture, and implementation, on each chapter, so it isn't some highlevel comb-over, it is more of an indepth realisitc look at making realistic, world-class, performant, and localizable websites. I give it 4 starts because it could be better, as in give localization its own chapter, and possibly deployment and maintenance more meat then it currently gives.

overall a good read if you actually have to write real programs in asp.net, for a guy who english is a second language, this is a brilliant read and had better english then most english programmer.
