This is a rare helpful book that has cleared
up many C# .Net mysteries for an experienced
MsAccess VBA programmer.
The author has found a method to help a programmer get
up and running, within the C# environment, in a quickest
amount of time possible, without getting bogged down in
minutiae.
The screenshots along with the code, and clear detailed
explanations are a breath of fresh air.
Rating: - Great book on basic database programming
I picked up this book to translate what I know about database programming from Unix to Windows. Although this book is a bit outdated since it was published in 2003, 99% of it was useful for me today. This book easily helped me transition my Unix coding into the Windows world and I will be keeping it close on my bookshelf for my day to day needs.
Rating: - All in one
very good book helps the programmer to get what he needs in the shortest time, well organized, very clear and has useful examples.
it covers many topics in one book (SQL server, ADO.NET and C# database programming) in a way that makes it easy to do your code without opening too many books.
the only limitation is that it covers only SQL server database programming, I wished if it covers alos Oracle and MySql.
thanks to Jason price

Rating: - Great, but not for the beginners
This book is probably the best book in the market if you want to take your novice c# asp.net skills to intermediate/expert level. It provides plenty of good examples and practically all the knowledge you need to become a fully competent c# asp.net developer.
I especially found the chapter on SQL and T-SQL particulary awesome. As a Senior DBA who has worked on SQL for 7 years, I thought the author had superb knowledge of SQL transactions which I rarely see even amongst the SQL books. ... Read More
