After reading through some of the reviews there seems to be some confusion about the book which I assume only comes if you are buying the item online. The tagline for the title is "Learn indispensable tactics for building solid, secure, and maintainable ASP.NET 2.0 applications using Visual Basic 2005." It's fairly difficult to read the tagline on the book unless you magnify the image, so know that the code is written in VB.NET. But if you program in C# you should have no problem picking up the concepts and following the code discussions in the book.

Inside the book you will find discussions and code regarding various aspects of web application programming that come up in just about every project. It is not a book specifically for "beginners" because I assume you have some familiarity with development in ASP.NET using VB.NET.
