Review title: The Best "how-to" book on ASP.Net
Product review: Finally a well-written book with good examples on ASP.Net. Eric Smith's applications are very good and they are challenging from the beginning. (The first chapter is no Hello-World, but rather an address book). Well edited and error-free. A great way to expose yourself to the normative techniques in ASP.Net design.
