Rating: - Finally a real world application!
This book combines all the necessary elements, remoting, coding to interfaces, reusable code, to create a real world enterprise level application.

Where is the big picture? It would have been nice if the Author would have mentioned what the sample application is supposed to do rather than just use a 'here, type this code in' approach. I can only assume he passed the 70-300 certification exam because it certainly does not show in his writing. I understood this book only because I have already written client/server applications myself. Woe to the reader who tries to use this book as a tutorial.
Rating: - If only all programming books were this concise
Wow!
Thank you Mr.Levinson. Finally, a programming text that is easy to understand and relevant to modern application development.
This book is my new bible. I highly recommend it to anyone interested and capable of this level of programming.
I especially appreciated the examples, which were not only easy to implement, but presented a logical step-wise approach to the client/server model under .Net.
