Average Customer Review: based on 10 reviews.
Customer Review: Some people are born to be great teachers. The authors of this book are definitely among them. I have only a very brief hands-on exposure to EF (Entity Framework), and it was for .NET 3.5. Among other things, I had to change the foreign key values in a self-referencing SQL Server table so that the foreign key now "points" to another...

Customer Review: Currently I'm a little over half-way thru this book and really like it, although (for me personally), I found that the book organization could have been done differently.

Essential Windows Communication Foundation (WCF): For .NET Framework 3.5
by Steve Resnick, Richard Crane, Chris Bowen
Average Customer Review: based on 15 reviews.
Customer Review: Wow, I'm still surprised by this book - especially by the way it's written, so that WCF subject, which is quite new to me - gets revealed part by part. I usually read books lying on my bed ;), so it's a straight way of falling asleep (and when it happens just depends on the book) - and I must admit that with this one it takes a much...

Customer Review: If you're looking into learning ADO.NET Entity Framework, this is the book to have. The book is concise, very detailed, and well-written-- and that's usually rare to find in most technical books these days.

Customer Review: Summary: Was this book a help to me? Yup. I would highly recommend it if starting development on any kind of custom DNN project (or any kind of DNN work in general). I pretty much agree with everything the previous reviewer said. I didnt have this book when I was asked to create a DNN site with some custom content at work. I'd had no...
