 Bad book, full of mistakes
I am very upset for this book. As a beginner, I just followed him to create a simple custom control. I found out that things were not gonna happen as what he told me, and the sample code didn't work also. I won't trust and won't follow him anymore, he just mass me up.
 Just say No to this book ...
br /If the title was AMATEUR Web Parts, maybe it would be worth something - to an amateur of course :-) First a professional wouldn't publish a search and replace "translation" from a VB code which was never ever even compiled, and amateur might. Then a professional wouldn't write a code for publication in VB in the first place, since he would know that potential reader of his book, being a professional programmer, has zero time to wade through VB-anything and needs working C# code on the spot - and amateur might.

br /Since Wrox was avoided publishing even a table of contents on Amazon, let alone a chapter etc. let me quote a little example of a completely amateurish thinking/writing : "think of full-fledged Web Parts as custom controls with superpowers" :-) What can a professional do with such "explanation"? Return the book and click on MSDN pages ...

very poor
Poorly done, examples are not clear and not completed. Do not buy this book.
The book sucks
The book does not flow from creating a project to finishing a project. It is haphazard. The examples from the website suck! None of the examples are complete, especially chapter 12 which is the one I wanted the most.
Poor Writing, Slow Progress, Good Examples
The writing is poor and doesn't make the points clearly. This subject is pretty easy so the examples can make up for the poor writing.
