Over the past five years, I have written four books. One on ASP.NET 3.5, one about ASP.NET 2.0 and two about Dreamweaver MX / MX 2004. In this section you'll find more information about these books and their availability. Just click one of the book's title in the left menu to go to its detail page. The details page for the book Beginning Dreamweaver MX 2004 also contains the complete list of answers to the Why Not Try exercises of The Soccer Site project.
Unfortunately, a book is never large enough to cover each and every important concept in great detail. That's why you'll find some articles on this web site that dig deeper in some of the techniques introduced in the books. To access this content, click one of the main tabs, like Articles or FAQs and then select a sub category like ASP.NET 2.0 or Dreamweaver.
Over the next couple of weeks / months, I'll be adding bonus content for the ASP.NET 2.0 Instant Results. If you have a request for an article, let me know through the Contact page. Until then, check out the bonus content for the Dreamweaver books below.

The Hit Counter that was introduced in these books has one major drawback: as soon as your Web server gets restarted, the application variables are reset and the values in the counters are lost. These two articles will explain how to store your counters in a text file or in a database:
