Essential Windows Communication Foundation (WCF): For .NET Framework 3.5
by Steve Resnick, Richard Crane, Chris Bowen
Average Customer Review: based on 14 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: 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).

ASP.NET MVC Framework Unleashed
by Stephen Walther
Average Customer Review: based on 14 reviews.
Customer Review: This is a very useful book. It very quickly tells you how to build web applications with ASP.NET MVC.

There is very little that is superfluous and most of ...

Pro Dynamic .NET 4.0 Applications: Data-Driven Programming for the .NET Framework
by Carl Ganz
Average Customer Review: based on 1 review.
Customer Review: I purchased this book in hopes of learning some new techniques for writing dynamic, data driven applications. However, this book simply explains methods for interrogating SQL Server meta-data and then using that information to manually create forms. Not only is this book light in context, but it is seriously lacking samples and the au...

Applied Microsoft .NET Framework Programming (Pro-Developer)
by Jeffrey Richter
Average Customer Review: based on 89 reviews.
Customer Review: This is the best book I could find on Common Language Runtime (CLR) programming concepts. Richter really goes into detail on garbage collection, boxing model, and other important "under the covers" topics/gotchas. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking to learn more about the CLR.
