Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A reference rather than tutorial
I bought this book in hope of learning NAnt as a newbie, since a good portion is for NAnt. However, after reading less than 10 pages in Chap. 4 Build Automation, I started looking for alternative. This book is for people who already have some experience on Nant, but certainly not for beginner.
Rating: - A great starter, but not a final answer.
This book has a great overview of available open source utilities. It is a good reference for developers with little start up capital.
On the other hand, aside from nAnt, it lacked on the specifics of the how to use each of the tools.

I have been using some of the tools mentioned in this book for several years now, and having ordered ... Read More
Rating:  - Don't judge a book by it's cover
While I had expected to see a concise treatment to the use of NUnit, NAnt, NDoc; instead I was treated to a 74 page treatise on the glories of open-source, and how Microsoft is going to have to ponny up to the realization that Open Source is the wave of the future. The author then briefly discusses the various topics; making this 484 page book a 70 page booklet on using testing tools, and 414 pages of fluff and philosophy.
The first quarter of the book was a briefing of the author's philosophy, ... Read More
