Title: Not for the impatient
Review: As a DBA, Data Architect and C# developer, I needed clear, concise and pragmatic examples to get me productive fast.I bought this book because of it's rave reviews.For developers, brevity is key and this book is too verbose for my liking - focusing on XML technology for the most part. The book did not have a building block example mentality - rather it's academic in nature.Far better is "SQL SERVER 2005 New Features" by Michael Otey. It's 1/4 the size and much more valuable in getting you started with Broker and all the other new features - quickly.
Is the review positive or negative?
