Summary: .NET from 50,000 feet
Comment: This 156 page book, is an ultra condensed book on the Microsoft preferred design for .NET applications. Like many Microsoft books, this one is poorly written. It is obvious that the book was created by a team with a whiteboard, from an outline then filled in later.
The resulting disjoined book is somewhere between an explanative book and a reference.
Not recommended.

Summary: I've been looking for something like this
Comment: I'm not a Microsoft fan at all. But this book is really helpfull in answering lots of designing questions that arise when trying to design a complex system. It explains, tier by tier, layer by layer, all that has to do with OOD, security, communication, etc.
I'm really happy with this book. Although it has no examples or deep info about anything, it provides lots of links to MSDN articles with the missing info. I strongly recomend it.
Rating: 4
Summary: More worthy than appears.
Comment: Yes, this book is more abstact than applicable. Yes, this book covers general design rather then specific approaches. Yes, this book covers information that is not new. That does not mean this book should not be recommended.
I strongly believe that software engineers need to read more abstract, general books such as this along with the specific, applicable type books. The help keeps us focused on problem solving as opposed to solution techniques. Both are needed to keep us fresh and effective in out roles. Kind of like spring training for baseball players - relearn the game basics and practice the needed skills.
Application Architecture for .NET is one of those books that should be read because the information is technically sound, is relevant to today's computing environment, and provides a solid understanding of designing enterprise level applications. Also, the book is short, direct, and straight-forward ( as a good abstract, general book should be ).
If you want or need a book to provide a concrete approach or a specific solution, no, this book is not for you.
But if you want a book to learn or keep abreast of the direction of current application design and the direction of application architecture, it's worth reading.
