Don't Waste Your Money 20 May 2001

By Doug Thews - Published on Amazon.com

I purchased this book thinking that it would take off where the Wrox books left off (since it is a MS product), but I was very disappointed to find that not only is this book very small (which means it cannot cover the breadth of the .NET framework), it is not much more than a bunch of MSDN articles and reprints of the help & readme files from beta 1.

I expected a lot more since MSDN magazine touted these books as a good technical resource.

If you're looking for an in-depth resource for .NET, stick with the Wrox books for now.

Shameless cashing-in 8 May 2001

By K. Price - Published on Amazon.com

... I bought three books in this series - this, Web Applications in the Microsoft.NET Framework and The Microsoft.NET Framework - all three went straight back to Amazon, since there's nothing here that hasn't been around since last summer - I have rarely felt so ripped off. Mostly these books are transcripts of interviews that you can find on the site anyway - there's nothing of interest to developers that you don't already know in far greater detail already. I wouldn't pay five bucks for these, never mind thirty. Shame on you Microsoft.

Beta 2 changes everything 16 May 2001

By gbworld@comcast.net - Published on Amazon.com

I started out giving this book a three star rating, as the articles are not that bad. Unfortunately, very little of the content has been updated for beta 2. There is still some content that is very useful for understanding the basics of .Net, but it is laced with material that only applies to beta 1. As such, it is really hard to recommend this book any more.

If Microsoft would publish an errata, to cover the changes for beta 2, this might be a slightly different story.
