  • Rating Excellent all-around .NET 2005 pack  Jul 13, 2006 (5 of 5 found this helpful)

    In my opinion, Wrox puts out some of the best books for coders, and as a .NET developer this pack is perfect. Between the 4 books they cover in detail the .NET framework, C#, ASP.NET, Windows development, higher-level OOP concepts (including generics), and ADO.NET, plus a slew of other things; with plenty of great examples and code snippets. Pretty much anything to do with .NET developed in included in the boxed set, with the exception of VB.NET -- there are many VB.NET samples in some of the books, but it's predominantly a C# centric package.

    I think for intermediate to senior .NET web/windows developers, this is a definite must-have. Probably not for new coders as they do assume you understand coding basics, OOP concepts, and already have some experience with .NET.

  • Rating Can't go wrong with this set  Jun 29, 2006 (3 of 3 found this helpful)

    In my opinion this is one of the best values out there. These guys know how to write clear and concise examples. I know Wrox books can be intimidating for their geek factor. I mean they really don't go out of their way to have their covers designed. Instead they just choose to slap whatever balding team of programmers that wrote the book right on the cover. Still, I want to say that this set of books was a really nice read. It got me up to speed with .net 2.0 features in a matter of a week. The .net Framework 2.0 book is not a reference book by the way...it's more of a guide as to the *new* features. Keep in mind that this set seams to assume you have previous .net 1.0/1.1 experience but the C# book that it comes with is pretty much from the ground up. Don't get this set if your language of choice is VB.net.

  • Rating Best Choice!  Jul 19, 2006 (1 of 1 found this helpful)

    Books inside this box are very good.
    Congratulation for Wrox! Packing books about same product or technology is a good idea. Specialy, when there is a better price.
    It would be nice, to see a SQL-Server Wrox box offer.

  • Rating Great reference books  Jan 31, 2010 

    I used these books a lot and they were all very good. I just gave away the last one, Profession ASP.NET 2.0. I have a generally positive opinion of Wrox books.

  • Rating great!  Feb 10, 2008
