So, if they didn't like the WROX book, what did they like instead?  I'd 

like to get the best asp.net book I can.  Any ideas?

with advanced ASP.NET experience didn't like it.

I thought the Wrox book was first rate.



As far as VB, C#, SQL.



VB and C# use the same CLR.  The only Performance difference that I can see

is in the compiler that creates the IL.  VB uses vbc.exe, and C# uses

csc.exe.  I haven't done a comparison between the IL generated, but if there

is a difference, that is were it is.



As far as language syntax goes, deal with it.  It is the new age.



I don't have what you would call a formal IT background.  I find the C

syntax to be difficult to get comfortable with, until you settle down and

bang a few lines of code.  Then it gets tolerable.  Problem is that I bang

VB, VB Script, JavaScript (same problem, only no good IDE for it), T-SQL,

and PL-SQL.  It is hard to "Settle" down with a language and get all the

things done that I need done.  VB is just easier to switch too in the middle

of the day.



Don't get me wrong, I like C#, I just think that a language should be judged

on productivity, not syntax alone.  Productivity is an individual thing, so

I am glad that the CLR is accommodating to both languages.
