Run, do not walk, away from this book
Easily the worst written book, on any topic, I have ever read. Filled with errors and typos, I could not get a single piece of code to work as written. The author leaves out essential points, and jumps around from point to point like a squirrel on meth. The text is virtually unreadable, and most of the code is useless. The author and publisher should be made to publicly apologize and compensate anyone unfortunate enough to have wasted their time on this book, which they apparently put an insultingly low amount of effort on.
I could say more, but then I would waste even more time on this book, which does not deserve it. Trust me, do not waste a penny, or even more valuable, your time and brain cells on this.
dont bother
I have worked through the first six chapters and it just gets worse and worse. The code, both in the text and the CD is laced with errors. There are sudden jumps with no explanation. I do think the choice of topics and the examples are well chosen but the book book is so sloppily edited that it is not worth the time and money. This is more like a rough draft than a final copy. I am an experienced C# programmer and this book has caused a lot of frustration and time waste.
I would be ashamed to have my name on something this shoddy.
This book is useless!!!!
Dont buy this book. Many omissions and typo errors. You will spend all your time trying to get the examples to work.
Houston, we have a problem
If you are a programmer who is smart enough to be hired by Microsoft -- this is the book for you. For the rest of us mere mortals -- buy something else.
Don't waste your time or money
One star is too high a rating. This book has far too many errors and omissions. You will find yourself having to debug the examples in the book. The published errata is a joke. There are 10 times as many mistakes. Weak.
