It must be difficult to write a book about technology that is, according to many, dying or even resting in peace already. I really admire those who are trying. In fact, the only thing an author can do is to show what's new in the framework and add as many information as possible. And Jesse, Dan and Brian completed that task perfectly. This book is not the cutting edge, have not illusion, but it's damn good compendium about ASP.NET, especially useful for those who are just startking in web developments.
Don't buy this book unless you like wasting time reading every word, several times!
I have never read a book that makes it so (slow / hard) to (extract / follow) the information.
I find myself reading and then having to re-read paragraphs again because I missed an instruction that is buried within the text!
As for the code examples these are printed in a smaller and compressed format so that make it easy to follow, NOT!
HELLO - The reason I buy a book is to get the information in it to allow me to get the job done, with the minimum about of (pain / effort).
Don't buy this book, unless you like wasting time reading every word, several times! PS Don't buy this book from Waterstones it is much cheaper here on Amazon!
