Summary: A great intro to ADO.NET
Comment: Let me begin by saying that this isn't a "ADO.NET for Pro's" book. I bought it when I was first learning ADO.NET and I really liked it. I see that some other people have written some negative stuff about it, but I have to disagree. The book isn't advertised as the definitive guide to ADO.NET. And I think people new to ADO.NET or intermediate programmers wanting to refine their knowledge will really apprecaite it. I know I sure did.
I've been following Mahesh for a while, love his web site and really like his books. He's very methodical and uses good examples to back up his discussion. And if you are new to ADO.NET, Chand's writing is such that he won't lose you because he moves too fast and he won't bore you because he moves too slow.
I can't wait for his next title!

Summary: Tedium
Comment: This book may be useful to someone who is a complete beginner to .NET and C#. However, I found it to be the most tedious programming book I have ever read. The author would list 3 pages of code, then change one line, and list the 3 pages again (with the one line difference)! Also, the author never tired of explaining in some depth (like 3 paragraphs) how the 3 different .NET providers had the same basic class taxonomy (but different implementations). After reading the same 3 paragraphs (more or less) for about the 10th time, I swore to myself that I would puke if I encountered those same 3 paragraphs one more time. Fortunately, I decided to pick up and read "ADO.NET Examples and Best Practices for C# Programmers" instead. I learned more in 50 pages there than I learned in 400 pages of this title.

Summary: Great .. Simple & Easy to Read
Comment: I am new to .NET and database programming. I found this book simple and easy to read and understand. Step by step tutorial format makes it more fun to read. Expert programmers may find book little boring but I recommend a great read for novice programmers moving to database .NET applications.
