E-Book Overview
As an experienced programmer new to c#, .net and even asp, I found Harold Davis' book to be very good and bringing me up to speed in a wide variety of areas. Don't expect to become an expert after reading this book, that's not the intent of this book. It gives clear, concise explanations and examples in a wide range of topics. I believe it makes an excellent introductory book to .net and c# for experienced programmers.

That said, a book such as this is produced through the efforts of many people. Richard Mills and Denise Santoro Lincoln originated this project and brought me into it. Tom Cirtin did a great job of helping to birth this book, and contributed from his vast store of musical knowledge.

Matt Tagliaferri provided technical review and helped save me from myself.
