ASP.Net 3.5 Enterprise Application Development with Visual Studio 2008: Problem Design Solution

I would wholeheartedly and highly recommend this book to anyone who is serious about learning the best practices a programmer needs to build an Enterprise application using ASP.NET 3.5 It's under 500 pages, and I found it to be very easy to read and understand. The book also keeps you away from all the extraneous info which divert a reader from the current topic. The author did a good job at explaining in detail all the IMP topics in building a real world EA, discussing each topic in detail and highlighting some of the best ways of doing handling each one of those. It's not one of those too much info and boring Professor-to-Student books, but more of a interesting Lead Architect-to-Programmer book. [...]

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.

I purchased this book with high hopes as I'm currently developing an enterprise wide n-tiered ASP.NET 3.5 solution. It definitely delivered! This book allowed me to hit the ground running with my new application. The author did a great job with the code sample presentations....they are very clear and well organized. I especially found the LINQ code to be useful. I highly recommend this book if you're serious about using ASP.NET 3.5 for an enterprise level web application.

Read this book recently and found out how clear and concise the author explained how to build an application from beginning to end, with alot of extras also. The author did a great job explaining the concept of building an n-tier web application and why it was import to have the separation. The reading was easy to understand and follow, as were the sample codes. Explanations of the code were very detailed, which made comprehending the code easy. Another interesting concept the author added was the email service application that he included. It was a very "neat" way of implementing how notifications are sent out. I would highly recommend this book to anybody looking to learn ASP.NET as well as building an enterprise level applicaton!!!

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.
