The Best Book

[C# newbie]

Hi,

I know some of you guys have lot of expereince, so I need you to tell me
what would be the best book to start ASP.NET. Just as reminder I'm a C++/C#
programmer and need to get familar with web programming and AP.NET. Any
suggestions ?

Thanks
Newbie

Stephen Walther's book "ASP.NET Unleashed" by SAMS is a good one.

Sorry I don't have the specific titles handy, but I strongly recommend the
ASP.NET book by Dino Esposito (Microsoft Press).

If you're doing any non trivial Web programming, then you'll need data
access - in which the ADO.NET book by David Sceppa (Microsoft Press) is
highly recommended. It has examples in both C# and VB.NET.

Both the Esposito book (Programming Microsoft ASP.NET) and the Walther book are great. I thought the style of Esposito's was a little more approachable, but if you get to know either of those inside and out you'll pretty much have arrived. Each is well over 1000 pages, though, so depending on how deeply you're ready to dive in, you might poke around for a little lighter reading (the only good intro/overview books I know are for VB) just to nail the basics first
