Title: TOO MANY BAD PRACTICES
Review: First of all, this book has almost nothing to do with OOP. It has some useful tidbits, such as using custom (server) controls to reduce coding and to increase standardization.However, I cannot recommend this title because of the many poor practices and bad application design it advocates. Why Microsoft Press doesn't insist it's title have some consistency in the use of naming standards, coding standards, application design, etc., is beyond me.The application design is poor or maybe the examples are just poorly done. The business layer doesn't appear to enforce any business rules while the data-access layer is also unconventially designed.Only one-third of this book (regarding server controls and UI design) is of any use. The rest is just junk.
Is the review positive or negative?
