A great book

Do not be mistaken the book is NOT a light read but the knowlege that the author is able to impart is fantastic. I found the first part of the book really informative especially the parts dealing with User Defined Functions and the User Defined Data types. One must try out the examples in order to glean the most from the book. The last chapter's examples involve the use of Web Services. This is a must!! Over all I would really recommend the book to the SQL Server Developer.
