Fun to read, great recap
I back ordered this item as soon as I saw it on my amazon suggestions. I had read books from Dino Esposito before and like the way he presents the concepts. The book is fun to read and inspirational. The UML recap is very handy. The section To SP or not to SP in chapter 6 a is a must read, I will definitely pass that on to some coworkers! Finally a great good summary of reasons why stored procedures are not the silver bullet.
The organization of the book in patterns per application layer is also a very good way to present the information, must software pattern books give a summary of patterns without emphasizing where it would be better to apply the pattern itself, or the pattern components.
