Author Laurence Moroney covers ASP.NET thoroughly—from 2.0 innovations to crossover features from 1.1. This book takes a broad-based approach, explaining how old and new features interrelate. This book also provides you with the solid understanding you need to code real applications.

I like this book because it covers all the key aspects of building a secure professional Web site, and pays special attention to databases and controls. I especially like the attention paid to security.
