a surprisingly good book

In spite of its small size, this book is surprisingly good. It is not all you will need to develop your "next big thing", but it points you in the right direction nevertheless.If you are about to develop your first big project (like me) and you need a relatively brief guide, this might be a book for you.And, contrary to what the other readers said about support, I didn't have any problems downloading the codes at all. In any case, I just downloaded the codes, so the previous problems encountered by other readers must have been addressed.

Good start book for Enterprise Development in C#:

I do personally like how this book has written. Yes, it does not concentrate a lot on "enterprise design" concepts, but gives you an idea how to structure your program internally to eliminate unnecessary coding, etc. And I do back up the authors idea to show all these concepts based on sample application. This is a book to help to real developers, but not to "enterprise development theoretics". Very usefull book, especially if you're going to deelop your very first "enterprise" application in C#.

Good Guide, but...

I think the book is a good guide to get the idea of the development of a enterprise aplication, but focuses too much in the example application (wasting time), and does not cover the necessary theory in .net or in general enterprise applications to really understand the process and get the big picture.

Very Different & Enjoyable Book

I like to rate a book by the amount of new and different knowledge I get from it as well as the enjoyment factor. This includes techniques and design styles not often seen in other books. This book has just that. I share a lot of design style with the authors so I guess I also found it partly flattering. The book shows you approaches to application design and development that you don't find in other .NET books in such good example - The Application Browser, Auto-generated Base classes, Custom GUI subobjects (Treeview nodes) - these are just a few. I found myself looking forward to getting out of work so I can continue reading it. I thought only Tom Clancy can accomplish that. Conclusion: This is by far one of the best tech books I have ever read....The authors build a relatively small system but use just about all the .NET technologies - Web, Windows, Mobile, Console, Services, Web Services, Remoting, etc. I bought the VB.NET version as well for language comparison. Oh yeah - you need a good .NET/C# foundation because they really dive right in - head first.
