Considering 2 of the other 3 reviewers have rated every book they have rated as a 5 star rating and one of those has only rated Murachs books….I would suggest you throw them out.
On top of that, had I caught it before I bought the book, I wouldn’t have bought it on principle alone for it appears that Murach is trying to stack the reviews.
As far as the book… Overall, this book has some good information but it is still mediocre at best. I would keep searching….

I read the rave reviews and bought the book. I cannot get the Chapter 3 exercise to load despite trying all the obvious permutations. I wonder if this book was sufficiently road tested.

This book is by far the best computer book I’ve ordered on Amazon. Joel Murach, founder of Murach books, is a genius. I am biting my nails waiting for every payday to come to order my next Murach book. By the time I am through reading them all I expect to be sitting somewhere on a beach on some weekend making lots of money just because I had a great crew of teachers through these publications. Now if only college were such an inexpensive and thorough way to learn! I could have skipped out on all my classes and stuck with this series and would have learned a lot more.

This is a big book (999 pages) with a lot of technical information. The “paired pages” format is used in this book: how-to on the left page and examples on the right. This style contributes to the effectiveness of the learning process. ASP.NET 3.5 has many new and improved features which contribute to quicker and better web applications. This book starts off showing how to use Visual Studio and ASP.NET (158 pages). The next section (204 pages) covers HTML, managing state, master pages, and other need to know knowledge. Section 3 is devoted to data access including SQL, data controls, object data sources, and LINQ. Security, authentication, personalization, custom error pages, AJAX and much more is in Section 4. Custom user controls, custom server controls, and web services are discussed in Section 5.
There is a lot information in this book. It is well suited for both training and reference. Highly recommended.
