5.0 out of 5 stars Can I give it 6 stars?, Mar 10 2003

Sahil Malik - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Microsoft ADO.NET (Core Reference) (Paperback)

Ok, I have read a lot of good books on MS tech. I am myself a MCSD/MCDBA/MCSE, and I can tell you, it doesn't get much better than this.

Here is why.

First of all, I never review without reading a book cover to cover. I read this book cover to cover, and I love the way the author keeps the text anything from dull. I love it the way he puts in small jokes, which still are somewhat pertinent.
Secondly, I love it's practical touch. He points out specific problems that I have faced, and this book puts me right in the forefront as far as problems I will only know about, after having worked with ADO.NET hardcore for 2-3 years.
Thirdly, it's relevance. Most books start beating around the bush, atleast in certain topics they do. This book picks very pertinent issues, and gives practical explanations including criticisms as and when appropriate.

BUY IT. :)

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Microsoft ADO.NET (Core Reference) (Paperback)

This book is the most useful i have ever bought. Each topic is covered clearly. First David Sceppa explains the concept and how to use each ADO.NET object. Then, he explains the properties, methods and events.

I recommand this book to beginners and also for those who want a clear reference.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good book need more code samples on CD, April 27 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Microsoft ADO.NET (Core Reference) (Paperback)

This book is pretty good. The one big shortfall for em was that it only includes samples from Chapter 11 to the end of the book. It would be nice to have some from the other chapters. The author suggests installing the e-version and then copying and pasting, but this is a big hassle when you could just open the solution and go from there!
