Summary: Great Reference
Comment: Unless you are writing games for a living, YOU WILL be spending a lot of time manipulating text. I have a true love/hate relationship with using regular expressions but there is no argument about the sheer power they bring to a developer's workbench. This guide is very concise and is a 'must have' reference book. Well organized and written.
I don't know what's happening with it's publication. I got it from Amazon from a re-seller and I'm not quite sure if it's still being printed. I know that when I went to download the sample code I was redirected to another site. Whatever it's status is, don't miss out and get your copy now. I don't know of another reference for the .NET developer for text/string/regular expressions.

Summary: Gary Chamberlain
Comment: Wow! Quite impressed! I have been programming in VB, C and Java for years. This book is a concise explanation of strings with great history for perspective and detail about .NET implementation.
This book reads very well and has great code examples. I suppose someone that doesn't know anything about programming shouldn't be trying to read a book about string encoding and regular expressions in the first place. This is not an introductoryto VB.net book (thank god!)
If you are an intermediate or greater developer that is new to .NET then this book is a must read. I've seen so many VB developers hurt themselves with string concat in VB. This book explains why and how the .NET framework solves those problems.
Regular Expressions is such a powerful tool. It is a shame that it took so many years for it to become part of the Microsoft arsenal. It has been used in Perl for decades.
It behooves every programmer to learn about the following three topics...
1] The StringBuilder class
2] Interning Strings
3] Regular Expressions.
Also, in the past, I have not been a big fan of wrox books. ..not sure why. I think, comparatively, they were hard to read. Even when reading topics that I thouroughly knew, I found the wording and layout less than ideal. It was probably just a bad group of editors. (There are even a few mispellings and mistakes in this book) However, I am a big fan of this new layout. Smaller books covering specific topics that you want to learn is the way to go.
This book is great. Get it.
