Format:Paperback
I was looking forward to getting to grips with SP 2010 but this book has left me a little frustrated. Too many examples that seem to be written for the beta version and have changed in the final release so you spend alot of time trying to translate code into what you think it should be instead. Also, the author seems to make assumptions during the examples rather than step by step guides. The rest of the content is good, it's just a shame when books try and hit the shelves early but the ink on the product isn't dry.
Pity, I'd just read Beginning SharePoint 2010 Administration (Wrox) and I found this to be very well written with good working examples.

Good, but you will need to do some investigative work...
1 Dec 2011
Format:Paperback
Well, the book isn't as technical as I would've liked, but I guess the author did kind of say that up front in the introduction to this book. It's not really a programmer's book for SharePoint. HOWEVER, having said that, if you've never done SharePoint development before (ever), then this would be a pretty good place to start. If you're an experienced developer with a background in ASP.Net and/or Silverlight, then you will be able to skip a good amount of stuff and just focus on what's different/new when developing in SharePoint.
Why 4 stars and not 5? Well, because sometimes the instructional exercises are not clear about when/where certain steps are to be performed. As a book geared towards those who have never done SharePoint development before, this is a big deal. In fact, some of the steps are just plain wrong (it looks like the author may have been using a Beta or Release Candidate version of SharePoint 2010--based on some of the screenshots that appear in the book--but even so, there is no errata at Wrox's site. And, I didn't post one because it was too much of a pain to do so). In particular, Chapter 4, pp. 155-156, steps 7-15 are not correct. In fact, in the later steps, looking at the Site Settings page in SharePoint, there is no Look and Feel section anymore (at least, not as a major category header) and I could not find where the author was talking about to apply a custom master page that was created in this exercise as the site's master page.
Other than that, though, the book is overall very good about explaining the high-level concepts pertinent to SharePoint 2010 development--and I do mean high-level; this book is really geared to brand new SharePoint developers with possibly little previous development experience.

Worst Technical Book I Have Ever Read
22 Jun 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have read several technical books on different technologies and this book is by far the worst. The author does not explain any of the concepts well enough to really understand them and I had to troubleshoot the majority of the exercises just to get them to work. I spent more time debugging his poorly written examples than actually reading the book. In chapter five there is an example of an Excel add-in that pulls in a SharePoint list. In the 3rd step of the exercise he states that we must build the project using .Net 3.5 framework but his code example shows we need to have a "using System.Xaml" directive which is only available in the .Net 4.0 framework. In that same chapter he briefly walks through how to build a custom WCF web service to interact with a SharePoint list but doesn't explain how to deploy it or get it to work. Reading this book has been one of the most frustrating experiences and I can never get the time I spent on it back.

Fantastic book for those learning SharePoint 2010
7 Jun 2010
Format:Paperback
This book does a great job getting non-SharePoint developers up to speed on what it takes to become a SharePoint developer. Readers are taken through step-by-step instructions on creating certain solutions and understand when one approach makes sense over other options when SharePoint presents multiple paths to compelte a task. I'd highly recommend this book to those who want to learn SharePoint 2010.
