Negative Positive
Title: Not .NET, but not bad.
Review: I agree with a previous review here - this book doesn't have much .NET in it. I think the ".NET" comes from the .NET server products like Commerce Server, not the .NET application framework. Blame Microsoft for using the same name everywhere, I guess. But this book seems to be written from the author's experience in putting together e-commerce sites using Microsoft's technologies. The back cover didn't promise any .NET developer stuff anyway so I wasn't expecting it I guess. But I found the coverage of Web site design to be helpful and it got us to thinking about some of the designs we'd initially come up with and we made some good changes. So it was helpful in the end. I do wish there were more examples of how to implement stuff like personalization, which I still don't really understand. The book is more high-level and design-stuff than dig-in stuff.
Is the review positive or negative?
