Summary: why make a difficult subject even harder?
Comment: I was looking for a good book on enterprise development in preparation for my first "big" enterprise project, so I got this book in the hope that I would learn something worthwhile.
Having already been involved in the development of stand-alone applications over the years, I was comfortable with the basics.
My, was I disappointed! The authors obviously knew what they were doing, but how to make themselves understood by mere mortals like myself was their greatest problem. It did not
take me long to begin to wonder why I could easily follow Fransesco Balena's advanced writings, and I could not follow these authors'. Tried as I may I could not get past the
first two chapters or so, before I looked for some other things to do.
This is the second book by Matt Reynold's that I have bought (the other was Beginning E-commerce with VB, MTS and ASP), and I have been unhappy with both books. I don't think I
will be going near his books anytime in the future.
If you really want to learn something about enterprise development, I suggest you scour Microsoft's MSDN website, or look for a more responsible book. This website has tons of lists you could also check out. This one is a waste of precious time.

Summary: What about deployment?!
Comment: There are a zillion books about .NET. I was hoping this one would cover deployment as the title promises. DON'T BE FOOLED!
Where is the information about Strong Naming, about how to get things into the GAC, about the line item tools like sn.exe, gacutil.exe, resgen.exe, al.exe (come on!)
What about the
Summary: The book was ok but not good enough to reccomend
Comment: I wish that someone would rewrite this book because the idea that the authors had was great.
The book was hard to follow; I found myself going back numerous times to recheck things. The enterprise objects framework was very advanced and well coded in a lot of areas, but I don't like the way that it handled retrieving data from a data base. So as I learned some good things from this book it was harder to learn than it should have been. One thing that I love about this book is that they give you the source for their object builder tool. I don't use the tool. I have my own but it's nice to see them giving theirs away.Similar Books:
