Method 1
I’ve found books from WROX useful (the covers are lame though):
- Beginning ASP.NET 3.5: In C# and VB (Programmer to Programmer)
- Professional ASP.NET 3.5: In C# and VB (Programmer to Programmer)
O’Rielly books aren’t bad either:
Method 2
Just a quick selection of a few good ones I can suggest for easy intro’s and good writting style.
Andrew Troelson gives a nice front to back on the full 3.5 framework . Its not ASP.NET specific or too deef of a dive on anything, but can be a nice general lookup for lots of things you run into. It also gives a decent backstory of the framework and language.
If your diving into ASP.NET for the first time, you may as well do it right. The Ultra-Fast ASP.NET book gives a step by step as many others, but focuses on some of the performance side and options to consider for different site types and common pitfalls.
enjoy.
Method 3
If you are a newcomer to programming in general and want to learn asp.net mvc. Get this book:
ASP.NET MVC Cookbook. Its for beginners and a good book to start. If you are experienced programmer – Steven Sandersons book is the best choice. So I would recommend get ASP.NET MVC 2.0 cookbook to start and Steve Sandersons book to get deeper and become a real master.
