Page 160 also suggests a useful Visual Studio plug in called SPDisposeCheck. USE THAT TOOL because it HAS been updated as per the latest guidance and it will catch almost all of the inaccuracies. If the SPDisposeCHeck add-in says something does not need to be disposed then double check its warning flag against the MSDN articles referenced on page 160 to ensure you are not getting a false positive from the SPDisposeChecker. Every time I had a false positive, the SPDisposeCheck program actually included a note that told me that it "..may be a false positve." The tool is a life saver!
I did not give this book such a low rating because it was based on the original guidance from Microsoft alone. I was also annoyed by the fact that there was not a place listed in the front of the book to send in corrections. I also found several mistakes that had nothing to do with old guidance: For example, the note in the middle of page 174 states that certain SPSite and SPWeb objects derived from the listed implementations of SPContext do not have to be explicitly disposed. This is correct. Then on line 3 of the code on page 190 (Same chapter!), they improperly dispose of a SPWeb object derived from SPContext.Current.Web. Had the author read his own book or been using the SPDisposeCheck plug-in, he would have caught this. One page 164 it states that you need to bring the Microsoft.SharePoint namespace into scope with a using statement but the listing of the code (Listing 3-7) has no such statement. Next we move on to Listing 3-19 on page 184-185....in addition to the unnecessary disposal of a SPWeb object derived from site.RootWeb on line 36, this code fails to generate any output at all because the author forgot to assign the output string to the label...DOOHH!
And don't think for a second that all of the typos are limited to the terrible code...just look at "About the Authors" section...the second line states that Eric Carter was a mevelopment manager. Even a computer spell checker would have caught that. This book is terrible and I believe the large number of short but glowing reviews that were posted shortly after this book was published are bogus entries made by the authors or publisher. The reviews certainly were not written from anyone that read the book.
Listing typos from this book is like shooting fish in a barrel. You may have noticed that all of the mistakes I listed are contained in the first 1/4 of the book...I was so frustrated that I stopped reading on page 240 and wrote this review...I am going to finish the book but I wanted to write this while I was still upset.
If you buy this book, read it slowly, read every reference to the latest guidance from Microsoft, use the SPDisposeCheck Add-In for Visual Studio, and question every line of code!
