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.

Outstanding technical book
I'm a professional developer and read a wide variety of technical books - most I just dip into as reference; a few (the ones that engage me) I read cover-to-cover. This falls into the latter category - I have rarely read a technical book that is as clear, concise, pratical, useful and interesting as this one. Even though I've been developing ASP.NET sites for a number of years, I got a tremendous amount out of this book. An excellent read.

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.
