Title: Trivial Pursuit book
Review: As another reader stated, this book IS NOT what the title suggests. I also purchased this book for it's "Applied .NET Framework Programming" title to find that it doesn't go into programming applications at all! Instead it is mainly Trivial Pursuit-like information on the lower level structures used to support various C# constructs.Who cares? The whole point of the BCL and C# is that I don't have to know about this stuff. I'm paid to deliver applications - not tell my management how cool .NET is internally. And we programmers wonder why management won't buy into this stuff :( Until we learn to focus on how a framework results in faster time to market with more bullet-proof applications instead of the "gee-whiz" factor, how can we hope that our managers will ever care?
Is the review positive or negative?
