Summary: Not bad content but.......
Comment: They repeat the same information over and over and over again. How many times can they tell us the Common language runtime can seamlessly integrate with other languages. I feel like they repeat the same information every chapter. Its sort of nice b/c its in my head now, everything the CLR does, but I could have written cue-cards.
Rating: 1
Summary: Not enough information for Intermediate or Advanced Develope
Comment: This book doesn't have information for expert level. Some of the information are repeated within few chapters. I guess Wrox should reduce the number of authers for a book or atleast the authers should review others chapters before publish.
Rating: 3
Summary: Not a Professional book
Comment: Wrox has a long standing policy of dividing their books into Professional, Beginner, etc. categories. The Professional books are generally a series of books that deal with topics on a level that requires an experienced developer to traverse. While this book might require experience, it does not fit the mold of the normal Professional book.
One of my biggest beef with this book is the same beef I had with Microsoft's MSDN series of .NET books. It feels more like a mismash of articles that have been published before (in Microsoft's case, they had been). There is no real cohesion in the book, and, while the content is not bad, the lack of cohesion makes you feel more like you are sitting through a conference than reading a book on the .NET Framework. One last downside: The appendices in this book are largely useless.
Having knocked the book, there is good material here. While this book is not the best to learn to code .NET, there is ample information on how the Framework works. If C# is your language of choice, and you are an Internet developer, the chapter on Engineering web services may well become the most useful in the book.
I will this book as an addition to your library, although I but not as your first purchase. If you want a book to understand the .NET Framework, I believe .NET Framework Essentials is a much better tome (at a much better price).
