Rating: - Poorly written, misleading title, lots of errors
Other reviewers of this book who have suggested that it has the wrong title are correct. It should have been titled 'A Developer's Introduction to .NET'. It touches on a lot but barely skims the surface of anything. I bought it as a web designer wanting to get into ASP.NET, but the chapter on ASP.NET was just a tedious walkthrough of creating a web form, with pages and pages of minute instructions - add this control, then this one etc. - when all that space could have been devoted to explaining the ...

Rating: - Book of Visual Studio .NET
As a Visual Basic user from many years ago I bought this book to help me get to grips with the daunting IDE that Visual Studio presents. The danger for a new user is missing the fabulous new Wizards and other time saving things that are pre-built into VS but are sometimes tricky to find for the uninitiated.

Rating: - A Good, Fast Introduction to Visual Studio.NET

Rating: - Badly Named, But Very Serious and Very Useful
The title, "The Book of Visual Studio .NET," is misleading. The book is not an in-depth guide to using Visual Studio and barely touches on extending and customizing Visual Studio. A better title would have been "A Developer's Accelerated Introduction To .NET." It assumes the reader is a working developer, new to .NET, and moves at a brisk pace. Only one of twelve chapters focuses on the Visual Studio tools although Visual Studio is used throughout to design, code, compile, run, and trouble-shoot examples for ... Read More
Rating: - Enterprise Services Examples
Excellent example of practical uses of Enterprise Services. This isn't the focus of the book but I was pleasantly surprised to find this nugget.
