Title: Amateurish little hack of a book
Review: The best thing I can say about this book is that some of the code works. For the most part, it doesn't work. Worse yet, the book recommends techniques that Microsoft has deprecated (old style joins, for example) for some time now. There are lots of typos and coding bugs - enough that I wonder if the book was really edited. Definitely not my cup of tea. It's another one of those weighty door stops.
