Professional C# 4.0 and .NET 4 (Wrox Programmer to Programmer)

7 reviews
Christian Nagel, Bill Evjen, ...

Wrox, 2010

Very comprehensive
A very comprehensive book on the subject, althought it seems a mile wild and an inch deep. On the other hand, if it were any other way they would have to charge thouosands of dollars in shpping, considering the size of the zrea they tackled. It's still very useful, even though it dosen't go as deeply into things as I would like. As a reference to have around when you need refreshing on ...

Professional SharePoint 2010 Administration

Wrox, 2010

Must Have Resource for the SharePoint Administrators
Extremely well written, highly exhaustive, and very much detailed. I have read the three chapters so far - install/config, backup/restore, and upgrade/migration and they provides all the information what you need to determine the best approach. This is a large book covering almost all of aspects of the SharePoint 2010 and how to administrator the key components - Search, metadata, service ...

Professional SharePoint 2010 Development (Wrox Programmer to Programmer)

12 reviews
Tom Rizzo, Reza Alirezaei, ...

Wrox, 2010

Highly recommended book for architects and developers
In the light of some of the poor reviews below, I wanted to offer my opinion on this book. I have worked with SharePoint for years both as a developer and architect, so you can trust me when I say I know how complex this product has become. To expect a book to in detail cover all possible corners of the API is simply silly -it wouldnt be done until next version of the product was out... The ...

Professional ASP.NET MVC 2

Wrox, 2010

One would wonder why there is no dedicated chapter for Model
I just purchased this book via the kindle store. It is pretty good. However, as someone who has been doing RoR development, the definition of models is pretty clear. But when it comes to ASP.NET MVC the definition of models get little bit blurry. I would expected to see a dedicated chapter for Model where it shows the best practices and how to use them in various scenarios (the book has dedicated ...

Wrox, 2008

Very good for beginners to the Intermediate level
Having read and worked with so many programming books, I know what works for me. The books I like start with a very clear basic overview of the subject, it's historical significance and the ground the book will cover. It will get you started quickly, helping with installation of and familiarity in the development environment. This is important because knowing how to use the development envirement ...

Beginning iPad Application Development (Wrox Programmer to Programmer)

1 review
Wei-Meng Lee

Wrox, 2010

This book will waste your time!!!
There's many sections where it tells you to edit code that is in bold in the example, but none of it is in bold...but these are the least of my gripes. This book is saturated with spelling and grammatical errors - many of which will cause you to code incorrectly or even edit the wrong file! No, really. They just rushed this out to be the first ones to have a book on coding with the iPad. If only ...

11 reviews
Mickey Gousset, Brian Keller, ...

Wrox, 2010

Definitive guide
Customers and clients have asked me for years, "Is there a book that covers all this?". To date, my response was, "Not really. Check out these blogs..." Well not anymore. This book offers a tremendous baseline of TFS/VS 2010 information. I buy it for all my clients-at the onset of any 2010 implementation. Sure, you'll need to consult other resources to drill deep on specific areas but this book ...

People who are new to SharePoint need structured learning with step-by-step examples in order to be successful. This book delivers exactly the kind of learning experience that developers need to get started with SharePoint or to transition from ASP.NET development. ...

Best Android Book I have come acrossed
I recently started reading this book and couldn't be happier. The way the author explains the Android feature set and functionality is sublime. Don't let the word "Professional" scare any of you beginners out there because this book starts explaining everything from step A. I have attempted to read other android books out there (Beginning Android 2 by Mark Murphy) and this one blows that book out ...

Professional Visual Studio 2010 (Wrox Programmer to Programmer)

Wrox, 2010

Visual Studio Tome
I've been using Visual Studio for development for as long as .NET has been around, I've had no problem getting code written, compiled and debugged. In the back of my mind I knew that Visual Studio had a heap of features and would often see a presenter press a button here, or change a setting there, and would think that one day I'll spend some time digging deeper into Visual Studio. With ...

Professional JavaScript for Web Developers (Wrox Programmer to Programmer)

Wrox, 2009

The only javascript book that you need to succeed!,
**Note: This review is for the 2nd edition 2009 version** This book is awesome. I had read previously read "Simply JavaScript" by Kevin Yank of [...]. That book is fine if you want to slap something into a website, clog up the browser's memory, and never write re-usable code. After that book (and many online tutorials) I was beginning to think there was something wrong with me because C++ was ...

Professional ASP.NET 4 in C# and VB

2 reviews
Bill Evjen, Scott Hanselman, ...

Wrox, 2010

Lots of Information, potential Information Overload
When this book was delivered I was in shock at the 1400+ pages, I've been reading on the book since and am several chapters in but I feel I know the book enough to give a fairly decent overview of how it was written and how it will hold up. This book takes a great in-depth look at every aspect of ASP.NET 4 and gives clear and clean examples in both VB and C# (the authors seem to favor VB ...

Wrox, 2010

Imar does it again
While I've already read Beginning ASP.NET 3.5 by Imar Spaanjaars and moved rather far beyond it, when I had the opportunity to recieve his new book on ASP.NET 4 for review, I took it. Would I still feel strongly about recommending his work as *the* #1 choice for those new (or relatively new) to ASP.NET? Would it offer enough new content over the previous iteration that I'd recommend a new ...

Silverlight 4: Problem - Design - Solution
So far I have read about 200 pages out of the 500. I have not a doubt that this book is the best written so far for Silverlight (2/3/4) and business application. Packed with useful information. Thanks

Wrox, 2008

Better than the online documentation
I muddled my way through the docs on developer.[..], floundered around for a while, and then picked up this book. I must admit, I'm glad I did. Although I'd say the first four chapters present essentially the same material you can get from the free online docs, they do so in a much more coherent way. The ordering of the material made a lot more sense than the online docs, too - for example, ...

Wrox, 2010

Excellent TextBook in Visual Basic 2010
Rod Stephens, all times amazed me with his books and this one is not an exception. The Visual Basic 2010 Programmer's Reference, is a great textbook written with the accumulation of experiences from VB 7.0, 7.1, 8, and VB (9) 2009. Visual Basic 2010, is the best among the (Visual Basic) .NET, and Rod has been able to present a very good book, that can be use for the beginners as well for the ...

The Only Book on Wordpress A Beginner Need's
When I say I'm new to Wordpress, it's as if I'd been wrapped in cellophane, lying in a cardboard box, like a new item on a shelf. I only wish i'd found this book first but I don't think it was on the market yet. It's the only book a beginner needs. Each chapter is like a little classroom where you learn a specific lesson. At the end of each chapter (or lesson) the author gives you supervised ...

Wrox, 2010

A superb, more advanced guide to WordPress
"Professional WordPress - Design and Development" is a superb book that will be appreciated greatly by developers looking to WordPress (WP) for the first time or for giving them a more thorough understanding of the inner-workings of WP. WordPress, as I write this, is at the WordPress 3.0 beta 2 cycle of development. This book will still be pertinent even though it was not specifically written as ...
