Started studying this for the purpose of updating web-based database applications at work. Concepts are inclusive using C#, HTML, CSS, VB, JavaScript, SQL, and ASP.NET 3.5, although mostly in a broad context. My main focus was on data-driven user interfaces (SQL/Access), and server controls (ASP.NET-specific).
Rating: 3.5/5.0 - Lots of coding errors, and some elements that are covered too quickly to understand them. But overall, a great intro to the all-encompassing ASP.NET using Visual Studio from Microsoft.
