Customer Reviews

Lacking in detail
How good this book is depends on your needs. I bought the book to get up to speed with expression, but mostly using it to design ASP.Net sites (master pages, themes etc) and found the book sadly lacking. If you need REALLY basic stuff (like how to style a heading in CSS or add an image) then fine. If you are anything like an experienced web designer/developer or want to learn how to design ASP.Net sites look elsewhere.
