Book for Professionals
I choose this book after a long and hard search online. I'm from Oracle and Jave background with little knowledge on C#.
Simply a great book and great value for money. But you need to have a basic software engineering knowledge and C# knowledge to use this. Not recommended if you are totally new to programming. (no idea about C# or programming)
Content is simply great and usefull.

Good book for intermediate like me. (Useful theory contnet)
I'm using this book along with MCTS 70562 Training kit as my exam prep guide. Reading the theory from both the books and practicing the lab from the latter gives better understanding for me.

The paper quality is bit annoying, but it reducess the weight over all.

Overall very good book for intermediate to expert as it claims.

Good book for professional developers
I had very little time to get my project rolling. This book provided me a quick boost, teaching all the practical aspects as well as best practices.

Couldn't have asked for more!

Love this book, recommend it to professional developers.
