Lot of good theories, i wouldn't casll it a book of "strategies" though, the BIGGEST turn off is the sample-code, it only ships with .aspx page, no code-behind!!!!!!!!!!! It's all in-line coding (tradition ASP style) and you can not debug anything since there is no solution!!!! If you let IDE handle code-behind, it doesn't behave as expected :( I can not tell you HOW FRUSTRATING it is not to be able to "run" the code, all you can do is make a virtual directory, point it to the folder where you downloaded examples and then "look" the code by entering urls manually!!!! That is it!! It's REALLY annoying and i could've given negative rating but 1 was the lowest so....anyways, i would not buy anything like this, i got this for free from microsoft seminar (No wonder it's free!! ;-) lolz) Save your time and money for something better :)
