Rating:  Summary: Invaluable ASP.NET resource Review: This is the fourth "Instant ASP" book (others being Instant ASP Scripts, ASP Components and the ASP Developers Guide) that I have purchased by the author Greg Buczek. I find that each book is invaluable in my application development and as a reference source. If you want to get into the nuts and bolts of how ASP.NET works, then buy a WROX book. If you want instant code to build your ASP.NET applications quickly, this is the book.It gives plenty of examples and sample code that works. As a lot of the code is repetitive (e.g. making the connection to a data source, using the data grid, or the calendar control, etc.), it really drives home the concepts and helps in understand how ASP.NET works. I am sure that Greg may not like me telling this but he actually responses to emailed questions sent to him about his code. I have built many full blown application using sample code in Greg's "Instant" books. Now I can build them using ASP.NET.
