Worth it's weight in gold

I agree with the author that "code generation" will grow as a dominant force in the IT industry over the next 5 years. When you hear stories about programming tasks being shipped overseas, its not the deep, creative thinking of type work that is shipped... no, they ship the redundant, grunt type of coding which could be described by an algorithm. When you find yourself writing code falling into a predictable pattern, then...

A must-read for code generation folks

This is a great book. Surely not the kind of book that you can read to relax: there are always several threads to follow, and if you skip a page, then you sort of feel that you're going to miss something, maybe a little useful practical tip, or maybe a smart design approach with lots of interesting implications. So it might take a fairly long time to read it, but it's well invested. Not only if you're on .NET: most, if not...

Excellent book! Excellent examples and sample code.

Even the most complex topics are understandable. The book is targeted at programmers who have some experience in developing applications using .NET. Most of the content is not geared toward .NET beginners, but the introductions to each topic can be a good jump-start if you have previous application development experience. The book also provides a lot of advice to help determine when code generation is useful and when it...

Fine book on model driven generation for .NET

If you expected a book on reflection I'm not sure why you thought a book on code generation was going to do it for you. Perhaps you are thinking about runtime code generation, but I'm sure that would be in the title.Back to the book. I think it's great. The only flaw I can find is that...
