Use of term Integral in chapter 4, for example...

in chapter 4, there is a part toward the bottom of the chapter, where it talks about data conversions. In there, the text refers to "integral" types. "integral" is indeed the term intended to explain the data conversion rules discussed in the chapter. In fact, integer is one of the integral types. Need to define integral if I'm going to use it...

Consider a "razor as razor" section and a "C# highlights/C# in razor" division of information -- several of the rules are C# rules, but they are not grouped to highlight that fact.

there are some issues with the VS template -- need to be addressed in VS gallery, not in the book.

1. have to manually create the App_Data directory
2. port number stays the same for everyone
3. may warn about or not work with SQL Server; the v11.0 and v13.0 in Web.config need to be MSSQLLocalDB
4. doesn't work as a project, only as a solution (substitutions in the file aren't done right)
5. should ship without the .dll's, just with the dependencies so they are pulled in
6. any way to turn off the AI?

Chapter 7 page 199 - top of page example: CalendarEntry internetBirthday;

Clarify for readers: CalendarEntry is a class, internetBirthday is a variable. Variables defined of a class type hold instance of that class, i.e. objects. Instances are created with the new operator. So we can say, later,

internetBirthday = new CalendarEntry(new DateTime(1991,8,6),"internet's birthday");

to make a new object.

Remove as written says it removes a character -- infact it takes an int, and removes a portion of the string from that point to the end.

(page #s are from the PDF)
page 3 - preface - maybe comma for para 5?
Razor was developed in 2010 by Andrew Nurse () for Microsoft , comma or period here?

pp5-Microsoft also provides LINQ, ((((((with))))) provides both a library and another language for database access. The LINQ language is like SQL — similar to how C# is like Java. ((((which))))

pp10display. Syntax errors ((((indicatye)))) that there is something wrong with the syntax of the program. Example: Omitting the semicolon at the end of a C# statement yields an error unexpected

Use the example of two layouts and a common footer as a reason to use RenderPage to pull in the footer partial file.

MVC has RenderPartial, but with WP we have to use RenderPage on the partial -- so give it a _starting file name.

MS won't let new uploads occur (need to retry to see when that capability returns to VS Gallery).

This impacts Chapter 2!

MS Imagine has non-time-limited Azure for student accounts, could rewrite the deployment (or provide an alternative) to use Azure vs. AppHarbor

Chapter 9 needs to use Identity, not Membership, to match the final template (did ch 2, 6, and 8 already)

the ++ and -- seems not to render the symbols in a few places, search and make sure asciidoc isn't eating them as marks rather than C# operations.

App_Code requires turning off precompilation on AppHarbor. Need to add how to do that and why, to chapter 6.

To add an image file, the easiest way to do that is to do this:

Have your project open in Visual Studio; if you want to put images in an images directory, and one doesn't already exist, use Add->new folder to create the folder.
Find the image in File Explorer (outside of Visual Studio).
Drag the image file from the File Explorer view to the Solution Explorer view in Visual Studio; let go once it is over the folder you want (the project folder, if you want it in the website's home directory).
Let me know if this doesn't work for you -- I tried it, and it seemed to be smart enough to add the file to the project automatically.

If you copy the file in directly all through File Explorer, then it isn't officially in your project, and won't be found when you do the deployment step in module 6. You won't see it listed in your files unless you click "Display All" in Solution Explorer, and then it will have a dashed outline. If this is the case, right-click the file and select "Include in Project". This ensures it is part of your project for deployment purposes.

String functions need to list more functions: substr, trim, perhaps others.

Missing || in boolean operators (OR).

Should include these:

• ASP.NET Overview from Microsoft
• ASP.NET Compilation Overview from Microsoft
• Getting Started with the .NET Framework from Microsoft
• Overview of the .NET Framework from Microsoft
• .NET Programming Languages from Microsoft
• Introducing ASP.NET Web Pages

These are not discussed in the book, and as early as ch. 3 people want to know.
