This book uses Linq-To-Sql which has pretty much been replaced by Entity Framework. Microsoft is urging people to use Entity Framework, so in that sense this book didnt pretty much deliver for being such a new book. The books itself is good, but if it was written using Entity Framework it would have been really worth it.

Last month I bought this book. I found it easy to learn!!

This book is clear and well organized. Author show his opinion on best practices. I found those practices are the best so far.

It guides you how to create 3-tier on ASP.NET 3.5 using .NET 3.5. This book is very strong on using LINQ, WF, WebPart, and ASP.NET. Also you will find interesting topics on enterprise application like Role-Based Access Control, Dashboard, Notification and Reporting System, and auditing data.

Good Book! I wrote this because I found this book is very easy to learn and no one reviewed this book. So let me be the first.

For those who’ve been waiting for ASP.NET 3.5 Website Programming: Problem – Design – Solution to arrive, wait no further — there’s a great ASP.NET 3.5 P-D-S book on the shelves right now, and this is it.

This book faithfully follows the very popular Wrox “Problem – Design – Solution” format, evolving chapter by chapter while analyzing business requirements, examining various design scenarios, and implementing a beginning-to-end solution in a reusable framework. The book uses LINQ to SQL for data access (though you could easily adapt this to Entity Framework or your third-party ORM of choice), and unlike the BeerHouse books, the emphasis is more on developing line-of-business applications. It covers a lot of important material the 3.5 BeerHouse book won’t go into, such as workflow, notification, reporting, and auditing. It also incorporates a number of current architectural trends, such as dynamic querying, code generation, and so on.

For those not familiar with author Vince Varallo, you are in for a treat. His writing style is clear, concise, and easy to follow. Explanations are well-detailed and are liberally augmented by code samples.

Still waiting for your BeerHouse fix? I urge you to give ASP.NET 3.5 Enterprise Application Development with Visual Studio 2008 Problem – Design – Solution a shot. All in all, a very highly recommended read.
