Title: Extreme Programming Misadventures in C#
Product review: In spirit, the book covers Extreme Programming, but please don't expect the code to hold up. I would say if you want to learn C#, don't write a book to do it. Why should I pay Mr. Jeffries to learn the language (and it is evident that he did not learn it well), and get the same old comments about Extreme Programming that other books have given me?I did find it comical that he states that he likes to keep things simple but when it comes to Xml, he would rather write an Xml parser / validator himself than to use what the platform provides. I guess the next thing we will see now that we have the editor, is a new operating system built from the ground up to prove that we need the editor :).Save your money and buy another book in the series, and Ron... you owe each of us $50 for teaching you C#, but I will take $25 since you didn't seem to get a lot out of it.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
