Average Rating:
Rating: - Very good book, lacks some in depth topic
This is a very good book, well written, the author has a clean style that I enjoyed very much. All topics are extensively covered with small but very useful examples. No pages of code: Just what is needed.
I give 4 stars only because it lacks explaining some in depth argument such as subclassing datasets or typed datatables. I expect a new edition with add-ins that will cover those new topics.
Rating: - Ok book. Not so advanced
Here it is. It's an ok book. But I have to agree with one of the previous post about the GUId Keys. I also found that the grid topics were not need it as well as the overview (the first two chapters.) If is advanced, I'm assuming the reader knows that or has another book.
I think that saving 4 to 6 chapters that were not need it, they could have extended the book to be far more advanced and concentrate in transactions, SQLCLR and so on.
Rating: - Good not Great...
Glenn Johnson has a very good book here on ADO.NET 2.0. Unfortunately, it just good not great. Here are my pros and cons:
Pros:
1. Well written and thought out.
2. Excellent coverage of ADO.NET Trace Logging.
3. Coverage of LOBs/BLOBs/CLOBs is very well thought out.
4. Discussion of Connection Pooling is very good.
5. Coverage of writting your own classes that work with System.Transactions is invalulable.
Rating: - Not quite what I was expecting.
This book does delve deep into the plumbing of ADO.Net 2.0, but I must admit that when I read the "Advanced Topics" part of the title, I thought that it would actually cover more complicated versions of some scenarios that might be found in "beginners" ADO.Net books such as handling many-to-many data relationships with bound controls and possibly designing and building a data access layer. While data access layers were covered to some degree, the described methods involved intensive interaction with ... Read More
Rating: - Great book, missing practical use.
Great book for ado.net. I wish this book has covered "how to use new features of ado.net with business layer. There should be some more chapter(s) for data acesss layer utilizing ado.net.
- Ok book. Not so advanced
