What ASP.NET book would you recommend to a newcomer? [closed]

Answer 1

I've found books from WROX useful (the covers are lame though):

• Beginning ASP.NET 3.5: In C# and VB (Programmer to Programmer)
• Professional ASP.NET 3.5: In C# and VB (Programmer to Programmer)

O'Rielly books aren't bad either:

• ASP.NET in a Nutshell, Second Edition
• Programming ASP.NET, 3rd Edition
