Title: ASP.NET in a Nutshell, Second Edition Publisher: O'Reilly Authors: G. Andrew Duthie, Matthew MacDonald Rating: 5/5 I've been reading O'Reilly since the days of the tiny fifty page staple-bound brown Nutshell books that covered shell commands and the first version of Perl. This book is that has taken that same approach to data condensation and applied it to everything you need to know about ASP.NET. And extend they have at almost a thousand pages it is far heavier than the original books, but that doesn't make it any less worthwhile. The first section covers all of the conceptual introductions to the topics, .NET controls, web services, configuration and security and all of the basics. The second section covers each section of the class library in a concise and consistent form that make it so much easier to grab for the book before you even press F1 to bring up the MSDN. Where necessary they include code fragments to demonstrate the point along with the explanatory text but it is never overblown or unnecessary. This isn't light bedtime reading but it is an invaluable reference to sit next to the keyboard of any ASP.NET programmer.

Title: The Protocols (TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 1) Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional Authors: W. Richard Stevens Rating: 5/5 I am responsible for a 50+ person intrusion detection mission, and I recommend this book to analysts after 6-12 months on the job. I do this because the serious folks have lasted that long, and they receive the most benefit from definitive works like Richard's wonderful volume. In the summer of 1999, this book brought my knowledge of TCP/IP from the memorization and recognition stages to the comprehension and application stages. While some material is far too deep in the weeds (SNMP, for example), the vast majority of the book caters to any intermediate student of TCP/IP and/or network based intrusion detection. I was lucky enough to exchange emails with Richard before he died on 1 Sep 99, and I grieved the loss to his family and to the Internet community. This book and his other volumes remain as testaments to his educational ability.

Title: HTML & XHTML: The Definitive Guide, Fifth Edition Publisher: O'Reilly Authors: Chuck Musciano, Bill Kennedy Rating: 4/5  Interesting and well written guide. Seems well written as a tutorial for novices, and a useful reference for more experienced users. I have been surprised at the number of errors I have found in the text, and the use of "icons" that are not defined anywhere. Other than these small detractors, a very useful book.
