Introduction to e-Commerce (Mcgraw-Hill/Irwin Series in Marketing)
Introduction to E-Commerce, 2/e, by Rayport and Jaworksi, can be used as the principles book for e-commerce. Much like there is a “Principles of Marketing” that is intended to be the first course in marketing, The text covers the entire landscape of e-commerce. The key message is that faculty who want to teach an introductory class on e-commerce and focus on the “strategy” parts of e-commerce first and technology second, should adopt this book. Faculty who teach marketing, management, s

Review by Scott Guthrie for ASP.NET 2.0 Website Programming: Problem – Design – Solution (Programmer to Programmer)
Rating:
I am very impressed with this book, and have worked with a number of customers who have also found it extremely useful.
Marco’s book differs from other programming books in that it doesn’t attempt to provide an exhaustive reference of ASP.NET 2.0 features. Instead, he focuses the book around building a real-world end to end application and introduces and demonstrates how to use the key ASP.NET 2.0 concepts and features in the context of the application.
The result is a very readable book that provides a great deal of context about how ASP.NET 2.0 works, and how the different features integrate together. The result provides a reader with a much better grasp of the end to end structure of how applications are built, and can serve as a good roadmap to make progress in your knowledge and learning of ASP.NET.
I’d definitely recommend this book to anyone who understands the basics of how ASP.NET works already, and is looking for a good book to take them to the next level and really start to build applications with it.

Wow, I wish this book had come out 18 months ago! After learning a bewildering array of ‘new’ technologies (mostly old technologies with new names), I still struggle when it comes time to actually produce a .NET project. The reason? There is so little context around these technologies it is hard to understand why I would use them, even if I understand how.
Site Mapping is actually a navigation solution! How can I decide when to use the cache? Should I really go to the trouble of writing a DAL? I’m never going to switch this site to Oracle. The User Management stuff is impressive, but is it overkill? Or underpowered?
This book provides at least partial answers to these questions, and many more like them.
If Wrox would create more like this, I would buy every one. The Help file tells me how. Most books give me the theoretical why. ASP.NET 2.0 Website Programming gives me the practical why, from the point of view of delivering a real-life project.

After you are familiar with the basics of ASP.NET and have created some simple web applications, I always find myself wondering where to go next. Looking at advanced “Pro” books leaves me wondering if I’ll ever use those advanced topics. All I am looking for is a continuation of the beginner book with some “real-world” examples with some intermediate topics or other useful techniques for what I already have learned.
This book fits the bill perfectly. The author briefly reviews some basic concepts of ASP.NET and its framework and then goes into the web site project that will be built upon throughout the whole book. It goes in depth in topics such as server-side controls, data controls (GridView, DataList, SQLDataSource), navigation controls, exception handling etc. As the author goes through each topic it uses the project website as a guide on how to implement it.
It really helped me understand how to put everything together into one mid-sized website as opposed to little bits and pieces like in other books. A great book for anybody needing an intermediate book on ASP.NET.
Review by Currito for ASP.NET 2.0 Website Programming: Problem – Design – Solution (Programmer to Programmer)

I had already bought 3 books about ASP.NET 2.0, and I have many many more about ASP.NET 1.x, before I bought this one…and now I wish I took it sooner! Yes, because this book is no like anything else. All other books I read provide detailed reference to the controls and classes of the framework…and they may actually do a good job at that. However, they often provide un-realistic short examples that span a page or two…too simple to actually reproduce real situations, and in fact most of the times these examples leave you thinking: “well, this is nice, but my app is not that simple…how can I really put this in practice into a real website…that must be fast, easy to maintain, provide logging, designed with the proper 3 tier architecture, reusable components etc. etc. ???”. If you’ve ever thought something like this reading another book, then this is book IS THE ANSWER. It explains how to develop an entire (and pretty complex actually!!!) site from start to finish, convering not only the code, but also all the design phase, with a lot of interesting considerations, suggestions, and discussion of alternatives! It’s a dream come true for a developer like me
For those that are at their first experience with ASP.NET 2.0 (but NOT with ASP.NET in general…read something else first if you’re coming straight from ASP or some other technology) it also provides good descriptions of the major new features (master pages, themes, membership, profiles, gridview, objectdatasource, menu & sitemap, webparts, localization etc. etc.). (5+++++++++)

I read through the most of the book in a course of 2 days. The book and the accompanying code succeed in discussing both architectural and technical details of a complicated Web application.
The book’s architectural ideas are especially very robust. Those who ever doubted .NET as a viable enterprise architecture would be well advised to read this book.
If you are an intermediate or an advanced developer, this is a must read.
Review by C. Lyon for Introduction to e-Commerce (Mcgraw-Hill/Irwin Series in Marketing)
Rating:
This text was required reading in an Internet marketing class I took. As an about-to-graduate business major, I felt the book often strayed off it’s subject matter (e-commerce) and too often went into excrutiating detail about how businesses operate. Although I did not read every chapter, the sections I did read were repetitive and confusing to follow. For example, the concept of “catalog content management” is defined and discussed at least three times in one chapter. To say this book is thorough is an understatement. There are many sections that could have been deleted with no loss of meaning to the subject matter. The book is probably OK for beginning business majors who have yet to take lots of business classes. However, for those who are more familiar with business, you will probably find yourself skimming over this text looking for the information you want. If you’re looking for a general overview of e-commerce, this is not the book for you. If you want more detail than you thought existed . . . well, I’m selling my copy in the used book section of this site

In response to the reviewer who said that this book is more for “beginners” or those that have not had many business classes, I say “NOT!” I haven’t had any business classes at all and I found some of the concepts above my head. I am currently a junior in college, so it is not that I don’t understand anything at all, it is just that some of the terminology was at a loss on me, because I do not possess the basic fundamentals of business.
What this book did do for me was open up the world of conducting business online, teach me how to make money online and the concept of marketing my business to be successful. It also addresses the importance of “branding” your business and how to go about creating a niche for yourself in a proliferated marketplace.
Now, I understand that most business majors may already know all this stuff, but you also know all the terminology and concepts in depth that I do not, which makes this an easier read for you.
I did find that some of the sections were repetitive, but when you consider that most people learn by repetition, this is a good thing, right? Besides, the repetitiveness was looking at the same concept from different angles which puts each concept into a different light. This, too, I felt like was a good thing because it shows you how to look at things differently depending on the type of business you are planning on conducting online, ie. informational or product sales. Again, this is probably content that business majors are already familiar with, but depending on what kinds of courses you have already taken, maybe the perspective is different when looking at online opportunities. This book does define the major differences between bricks and mortar or offline and online businesses and what benefits or shortfalls each may face in reaching the mass public.
What I did not like was that it seemed like the authors were getting paid to endorse one particular company, which shall remain nameless in this review, and finished off each chapter with an overview of this company in relationship to the material taught in that section. That got real old, real quick. However, it did put some things into perspective and really made me think about how I could fit into the online world, how I’ve already fit into the online world, and gave me guidance on how I am going to approach my new endeavors in the online world. So, for that, I am glad I read the entire book!
So, I would say that the book may not be good for someone who is finishing up business courses unless you have no clue about conducting business online. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it for beginners either though. As I said, some terminology was completely foreign to me and I found myself using a dictionary a lot! But, if you’ve taken a few classes and you feel that you understand the basics of business and want to learn more about building websites that work and do not cause customer confusion or customers to abandon their shopping carts, what attracts people to your site, how to retain those customers, and how to make money without really trying through affiliate and partnership programs, then you might want to give this book a whirl.
