This book is full of solutions that can be easily added to your Web site. The solutions also show you lots of recommended practices. Learning these recommended practices is the next step past learning the basics of ASP.NET that you need. It's kind of like once you've learned to spell and write sentences, you can correctly learn to craft coherent prose. This book teaches you how to tie all of the ASP.NET pieces together. It teaches you how to get the most out of the ASP.NET platform.

Many of the applications in this book would cost you significant dollars if you purchased them. Examples of this are the Forum application, the Classifieds application, and the Graphing class. As a developer, I often look for applications and classes that I can use. Finding these cuts my cost of development significantly since I don't have to write them myself. And even if you do have to modify these applications to suit your needs, they give you a starting point that'll still save you lots of time.
