If there’s a new guy at your office whom you don’t have time to train, or if you happen to be either the new guy or a rusty veteran yourself, a book may be able to set you straight regarding the basics of ASP.NET. “Sams Teach Yourself ASP.NET 3.5 in 24 Hours” has been receiving positive reviews.
Steve Mandel recently took a look at the volume (which was authored by the similarly-initialed Scott Mitchell) and came away impressed. He wrote, “This book is well written and is divided into four parts with a total of 24 chapters. While the level of the book is directed at beginners, it’s a good refresher for more experienced developers who want to learn some of the new features available in ASP.NET 3.5.”
Mandel isn’t alone in his opinion, either, as “Sams Teach Yourself ASP.NET 3.5 in 24 Hours” is averaging about 4.5 stars on Amazon.
Here’s an added bonus: the book isn’t a boring instruction manual. Each chapter includes a question and answer section, a workshop segment, and a selection of exercises to help readers gain a bit of real-world understanding and practical experience.
All in all, this seems to represent a pretty worthwhile way of getting someone up to speed on ASP.NET, and the 24-hour timeframe named by the title makes it look like an efficient one, too.
