Reviews for Applied Microsoft .NET Framework Programming

1. Excellent book on .Net

   Rated 5 out of 5 stars, May 12th, 2004

   Written in a very nice and easy to read style, covers not just how the framework is put together but more importantly reasons why and how best to take advantage of it in your own software.
   Delves deep into areas of the Framework that I personally haven't seen covered as clearly anywhere else.

2. Excellent!

   Rated 5 out of 5 stars, February 12th, 2004

   This is easily the most easy to read .NET framework book that I've seen. It's a great reference and is so well formatted that it's easy to simply read right through, largely due to the fact that the chapters are nice and small so it doesn't feel like hard work. One thing to note though is that ALL the code samples are in C#.

3. Excellent book

   Rated 5 out of 5 stars, February 12st, 2004

   I am mainly a java programmer and I was interestd in .NET and it is good that this is the first book that I got about .NET since this books is really well written and it is one of those books that I have read cover to cover (not exactly I just skipped a few chapter ).
   Overall an excellent book and a must read.

4. A remarkable achievement

   Rated 5 out of 5 stars, October 12th, 2003

   written, clear and concise, this text is a must read for anyone working on a .NET solution. The chapter on exceptions (and bugs in the FCL) saved me weeks of wasted effort on a project and was well worth the book on its own.

5. Excellent

   I am mainly a Java guy, but I was a bit interested in .NET, it is good that I started of this book since it is really an intereting book, though I times I feel it takes you really deep into the depths of internal working of .NET, which is good. But since I have not done that much of C or C++ programming as much as Java programming I had to do some extended reading. As in the case of event registering using function pointers etc. Overall it is an excellent book.
