Summary: Bad book, full of mistakes
Comment: I am very upset for this book. As a beginner, I just followed him to create a simple custom control. I found out that things were not gonna happen as what he told me, and the sample code didn't work also. I won't trust and won't follow him anymore, he just mass me up.

Summary: Just say No to this book ...
Comment:
If the title was AMATEUR Web Parts, maybe it would be worth something - to an amateur of course :-) First a professional wouldn't publish a search and replace "translation" from a VB code which was never ever even compiled, and amateur might. Then a professional wouldn't write a code for publication in VB in the first place, since he would know that potential reader of his book, being a professional programmer, has zero time to wade through VB-anything and needs working C# code on the spot - and amateur might.
Since Wrox was avoided publishing even a table of contents on Amazon, let alone a chapter etc. let me quote a little example of a completely amateurish thinking/writing : "think of full-fledged Web Parts as custom controls with superpowers" :-) What can a professional do with such "explanation"? Return the book and click on MSDN pages ...

Summary: The book sucks
Comment: The book does not flow from creating a project to finishing a project. It is haphazard. The examples from the website suck! None of the examples are complete, especially chapter 12 which is the one I wanted the most.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Poor Writing, Slow Progress, Good Examples
Comment: The writing is poor and doesn't make the points clearly. This subject is pretty easy so the examples can make up for the poor writing.
