This book is the best buy for those who wants a real hand-on with ADO.NET. I bought this book and started reading it very casually. The book slowly and gradually guided me from the beginner's to advanced level in ADO.NET. I am not a VB.NET programmer, but I know VB6 pretty well and the VB.NET appendix was a bonus in that direction. This book has given me tremendous confidence on the subject.

I am new to ADO.NET and have some working code in my projects, but wanted to know more about ADO.NET. This books has only confused me. I had a better understanding before I read this book.

Last month I searched for an ADO.Net book, I found this book got a full 5 star, I couldn't wait running to a local book store and purchased this title. After I read it, I was disappointed. I recommend another book "Pragmatic ADO.NET: Data Access for the Internet World", which is a better title.

I also bought this book because of the 5 star review and the approach seemed interesting (the rating was probably given by the author himself, a friend, or someone that want's to drag everybody along in his misery of buying this).

This book author describes in detail what sizes, colors, fonts of the buttons need to be for an application example, but then rushes very quick over the code, skipping difficult parts.

If you're not advanced into ADO.NET, you'll feel very much left behind by the author. And if you are advanced in ADO.NET, you don't need this at all. Do not buy this.

I can't believe this thing got published.

Highly unrecommended.
