Customer Reviews

Make it relevant

Hey Spike, if you're going to bash my book at least be man enough to give your name. The review also wasn't relevant as it attacked the company I work for and didn't say anything about the book. I would expect that review and this one to be deleted.

Great Insights

I enjoy the clarity and pace of the author's writing. The first part of the book lays a basic .NET foundation rich in explainations and diagrams. Part two emphasizes Enterprise component building techniques while part three integrates the concepts presented. I found the code samples to have many insights helpful in developing real-world business applications. I highly recommend this book for those moving beyond .NET basics and learning on their own.

Great Referance

I found this book to be a great resource for intermediate to advanced developers. It covers everything you need to know for building desktop and web applications and made the transition from VB6/ASP to VB.NET/ASP.NET easier for me. The book contains very helpful tables that list the functions that are no longer supported in the .NET framework and the new way of programming that correspond to the old way. I particularly liked the code samples that were provided in the book and found them to be extremely helpful when developing real-world business applications. I highly recommend this book for a person who needs to know everything about .NET and is learning on their own.
