A lost classic

A lost classicThis is a great book -unfortunatly overlooked.A great partner to my other fave Wrox title-Proffesional VB Design patterns.My favorite chapters are Chapter 9 Component Services and Chapter 12 Case Study IBankYou will have to work really hard on the case study 40hrs-80hrs + to get a real gain from this book but unlike some other Wrox books - its not over the top.

Comprehensive guide to building database driven Applications

Initially the book was a little overwhelming, but as our development team's competence and familiarity with .NET increased, so the later chapters became more valuable. This is especially true of the iBank Case Study, which provides a great "How To..." reference in building a complete enterpriseapplication using all the elements of .NET based on multiple tiers (Presentation, Business, and Data Layers).The book's highly professional structure and coding techniques demonstrates the authors' deep knowledge and experience in the SQL/VB.NET domain.
