Customer Reviews

Short, but good, introductory book

Don't expect a lot of detail in this book. It covers most of it's topics on a cursory level and provides a good introduction to the topic. Weighing in at ~300 pages with ten chapters you get about 4-40 pages per topic.That being said, there chapter on Web Services is excellent. The explanations are great. The book is well written and edited which is something that we expect from Manning. So in the final analysis, you will probably still need spot books on various key topics and a subscription to MSDN to go along with the purchase of this book. But if you are someone new to Windows development, especially for web applications, you might want to take a look at this book.(Full disclosure: I am a Manning author but I in no way allow that to effect my reviews.)
