Title: VERY misleading title - really for beginners
Review: Given the "Best Practices" title, I assumed that this book was going to go into much more advanced lessons about real world problems and solutions for ADO.NETInstead, I found a book filled with beginners guides to the database wizards included in Visual Studio.NET and "first you do this, then you do that" types of examples.The author barely touches on designing N-tier architectures and instead spends most of the time comparing ADO.NET and ADO.A decent book if you are experienced at ADO and are just now learning ADO.NET. Otherwise, stay away.
Is the review positive or negative?
