Title: Skip VS.NET
Review: I don't use and I don't plan on using Visual Studio.NET to develop ASP.NET applications. I think it is way too weighty and pricey for what it offers. Instant ASP.NET did it for me. It showed me using so many different applications how to create ASP.NET without having to have VS.NET. That is a great plus. You can do so much using any text editor. The book covered stuff like creating a sports site, using email, banner ads, visitor tracking, school pages, bookmarks, chat, job boards and tons more.The book is well worth the money. This is the stuff that you never learn in a class or pick up from other books.
