Not bad at all all -- if you have a good copy...

I was fortunate to get a "good" copy of this book - i.e., without all these printing horrors so vividly described by other frustrated reviewers (missing chapters, wrong pages, inserts from another book on Apache server, etc.) - and have found it very useful. I think this book could have a great value for someone, who has some programming experience with a fragmented "academic" knowledge on .NET, but has not had much of "real life" experience on developing and implementing desktop .NET applications. In my opinion, the author does keep his promise - to show "the entire process of desktop software construction from design to delivery". Also, I have found a number of useful little tips (e.g., on organizing your code and its documentation, enhancing GUI with self-made custom icons, etc.) - of course, nothing "revolutionary" or "mind-blowing" - everything can found in other books or in on-line tutorials... Chapter 8: "Custom Controls" - in my opinion - is almost excellent and could be very helpful for a novice developer like myself: unlike in so many other books, both custom control examples presented by the author have some "real life" value and contain a few lines a rather not trivial code. Provided that you have a GOOD copy of this book, it could be a nice reading -- for someone who wants to get a quick overview on using VS .NET -- over a weekend or within just a few days.
